India described Pakistan as a "Frankenstein state" that harboured and nurtured terrorism as a state policy and was now facing the consequences of its own actions. In a stinging response to Pakistan at a United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) session on Thursday, India's Anupama Singh questioned Islamabad's claims of being a victim of terrorism, stressing that it gets "shocked when its own monster bites back".

Singh, who is the First Secretary at the Permanent Mission to the United Nations, described the situation as a paradox that "only Pakistan could sustain". "This is the country where the sitting Defense Minister boasts of hosting, training and deploying terrorist estate policy and yet Pakistan calls itself a victim of terrorism," Singh said.

"It is a living example of a Frankenstein state which is shocked when its own monster bites back," she further said.
