Failed state which thrives on instability, survives on handouts: India hits out at Pakistan over Kashmir remarks
The Hindu
India condemns Pakistan as a failed State surviving on international handouts, urging Pakistan to focus on its citizens' issues.
At the seventh meeting of the 58th Session of United Nations Human Rights Council, India said that Pakistan was a failed State surviving on international handouts.
Kshitij Tyagi, Permanent Mission of India to the U.N. in Geneva, said that it was “regrettable to see their leaders continue the spread of falsehoods handed down by their military-terrorist complex”.
Mr. Tyagi said, “Pakistan is making a mockery of the OIC by abusing it as its mouthpiece. It is unfortunate that this Council’s time continues to be wasted by a failed State which thrives on instability and survives on international handouts. Its rhetoric reeks of hypocrisy, its actions of inhumanity and its governance of incompetence. India remains focused on democracy, progress and ensuring dignity for its people. Values that Pakistan would do well to learn from.”
Continuing his scathing response and rebuttal of Pakistan, Mr. Tyagi said that the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh will always be a part of India. He added that the progress in these areas speaks for itself.

“The Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India. The unprecedented political, social and economic progress in J&K in the past few years speaks for itself. These successes are a testament to the people’s trust in the government’s commitment to bring normalcy to a region scarred by decades of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. As a country where human rights abuses, persecution of minorities and systematic erosion of democratic values constitute state policies and which brazenly harbours UN-sanctioned terrorists, Pakistan is in no position to lecture anyone,” he said.
Mr. Tyagi added that Pakistan must get over its “unhealthy obsession” with India and focus on the issues that continue to plague its citizens.
