Pahalgam: A United Nations official has condemned India’s failure to protect its Muslim minority following an attack in Pahalgam, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Radio Pakistan, Professor Nicolas Levrat, UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues, told a US Congressional briefing that India is not living up to its international commitment to protect religious minorities from violence and discrimination.
The criticism comes as the Association for Protection of Civil Rights documented 184 hate incidents against Muslims in just over two weeks following the April 22 Pahalgam attack in Kashmir.
The incidents affected at least 316 victims across 19 Indian states, including hate speech, mob assaults, mosque vandalism, and killings.
