India has slammed Pakistan at the UN Human Rights Council for spreading misinformation about the development of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking at the 61st Session of the UNHRC, India’s representative Anupama Singh said Pakistan must be “hallucinating” or living in “La-La land” if it finds it hard to believe in Indian territory’s development, whose budget is more than twice the recent bailout package Islamabad sought from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
India also rejected allegations made by Pakistan and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), stating that the group has allowed itself to be used as an “echo chamber” for Islamabad.
Pakistan Living In ‘La La Land’
“If the Chenab Rail Bridge, the world’s highest bridge, inaugurated in Jammu and Kashmir last year, is fake, then Pakistan must be hallucinating or living in the ‘La-la-land,'” Singh said, replying during the high-level segment.
“We categorically reject these allegations,” she said, adding that Pakistan’s “incessant propaganda now reeks of envy.”
On Pakistan’s Propaganda
Singh asserted New Delhi’s stand on Jammu and Kashmir, saying it “was, is, and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India.” She said the accession of the region to India in 1947 was “completely legal and irrevocable,” in accordance with the Indian Independence Act and international law.
