India Criticizes Pakistan at UNHRC, Calls Indus Waters Treaty Outdated

India Criticizes Pakistan at UNHRC, Calls Indus Waters Treaty OutdatedPreviousNext

At the 62nd UN Human Rights Council session, India's First Secretary Anupama Singh criticized Pakistan for sponsoring terrorism and described it as a 'Frankenstein state' affected by its own policies. India called the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty outdated, suspending its implementation following the Pahalgam attack until Pakistan renounces cross-border terrorism. Singh also rejected Pakistan's allegations against India and highlighted repression in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, urging Pakistan to address internal issues instead of raising bilateral disputes internationally.
