India Rejects UN Committee's Concerns Over Alleged Human Rights Violations
The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) raised concerns about alleged human rights violations in India, including violence, discrimination, and racial profiling against marginalized groups such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Bengali-speaking Muslims, and Rohingya refugees. The committee urged India to investigate abuses and review policies like the National Register of Citizens (NRC). India rejected these observations as "politically motivated" and "highly malicious," emphasizing its constitutional safeguards, legal framework, and ongoing efforts to protect disadvantaged communities.
