India Slams Pak: India launched a sharp attack on Pakistan for mistreatment of minorities

  India has launched a sharp attack on Pakistan over the mistreatment of religious minorities in the United Nations (UN). India has accused Islamabad of failing to protect vulnerable communities and lecturing New Delhi on issues of religious freedom, funeral rights and minorities. Taking India's side during an interactive conversation with the Special Rapporteur on 'Freedom of Religion or Belief' on funeral rights in special circumstances, Bhavika Mangalanandan, First Secretary of the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, raised serious questions about reporting methods on religious discrimination during the Covid-19 pandemic and advocating funeral rights for terrorists. Mangalanandan said the report appears to blame countries in the Global South for discriminatory practices and lapses during the pandemic, while ignoring similar tragedies in developed countries. He questioned, "According to the report, all the discrimination and malpractice during Covid-19 allegedly took place only in the Global South. What benefit does this report get by not mentioning such tragic situations in the developed world?" He warned against politicizing human suffering and said reports on religious freedom should deal with violations objectively rather than selectively highlight incidents for political purposes. Mangalanandan said, "Political gain from people's pain and loss should not be a topic on which special rapporteurs base their relevance." Questioning the tree of the report on funeral rights of terrorists, the Indian diplomat argued that the rights of the perpetrators should not be allowed to override the rights of the victims who have lost their lives in terrorist attacks. On the other hand, a program organized by the 'Christian Study Circle' on the plight of minorities in Pakistan was attended by political representatives, religious figures, lawyers and social workers, who called for concerted efforts to tackle religious extremism and discrimination. On this occasion, Neelam Kumari, a former member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, alleged that Hindu girls are facing kidnapping and forced conversion. They also highlighted the limited effectiveness of existing legal protections due to lax procedures.
