India Rejects Pakistan's Religious Freedom Claims at UN
India has responded to Pakistan's claims regarding religious freedom at the United Nations, emphasizing its treatment of Pakistani soldiers during the 1999 Kargil War. Bhavika Mangalanandan, First Secretary at India's Permanent Mission to the UN, highlighted that the Indian Army buried several Pakistani soldiers with military honors and in accordance with Islamic rites. During the discussion on a UN report addressing religious freedom, she criticized Pakistan for its treatment of minorities and suggested that it should focus on issues in regions under its control, such as Jammu and Kashmir. Mangalanandan also questioned the report's focus on burial rights for terrorists while neglecting the rights of terrorism victims and accused it of selectively addressing human rights concerns.
