India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Parvathaneni Harish, slammed Pakistan in his address to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). India  called upon Pakistan to end the “grave and ongoing human rights violations in the areas illegally occupied by it". During the open debate organised on the 80th UN Day on Friday (local time), Harish emphasised that Jammu and Kashmir will always be an “integral and inalienable part of India."

“We call upon Pakistan to end the grave and ongoing human rights violations in the areas illegally occupied by it, where the population is in open revolt against Pakistan’s military occupation, repression, brutality and illegal exploitation of resources," Ambassador Harish said.

He also added that while the people in the region exercise their fundamental rights, such concepts are “alien" to Pakistan.

“Let me emphasise that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has been, is, and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. The people of Jammu and Kashmir exercise their fundamental rights in accordance with India’s time-tested democratic traditions and constitutional framework. We, of course, know that these are concepts alien to Pakistan," the Ambassador said.

He further emphasised India’s commitment to Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, seeing the world as one family, and advocating for justice, dignity, and prosperity for all.

“This is not only an outlook that anchors our worldview, but also the reason why India has consistently advocated for justice, dignity, opportunity and prosperity for all societies and peoples. It is also the reason why India places its faith in multilateralism, international partnerships and cooperation," he said.

While addressing the UNSC Open Debate, the Indian Ambassador highlighted the UN’s contributions since World War 2, while acknowledging questions about its relevance, legitimacy, credibility, and efficacy.

“The theme of this debate gains great salience at a time when the world’s largest multilateral organisation – the United Nations – faces questions related to relevance, legitimacy, credibility, and efficacy," Ambassador Harish said.
