JAMMU: Reacting to the development, BJP Spokesperson J&K, Gaurav Gupta, said that India has once again exposed Pakistan’s lies and propaganda at the United Nations while giving a strong and dignified rebuttal to Switzerland’s shallow remarks on minorities during the 60th Session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.

Shri Kshitiz Tyagi, Counsellor at India’s Permanent Mission to the UN, blasted Pakistan as a “failed state” addicted to “propaganda and terror”. He reminded the forum that India needs “no lessons from a terror sponsor, no sermons from a persecutor of minorities, and no advice from a state that has conjured its own credibility.”

“India will continue to protect its citizens with unwavering resolve. We will defend our sovereignty without compromise. And we will continue to expose, time and again, the elaborate deception of a failed state whose survival depends upon trafficking in terror and tragedy,” Tyagi asserted.

Ridiculing Pakistan’s leadership, Tyagi recalled how even Pakistan’s own leaders had compared their nation to a “dump truck” — a fitting metaphor for a state that routinely deposits recycled falsehoods and stale propaganda at international forums. He strongly condemned Pakistan’s misuse of the OIC, calling it a disgraceful attempt to use the body as its political mouthpiece.

 Gupta said that India has made it abundantly clear that Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India. The unprecedented political, social, and economic progress in J&K over the past few years is itself proof of the people’s faith in the Government of India and a testimony to the failure of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

India also came down heavily on Switzerland for its comments on minorities. Tyagi described the remarks as “surprising, shallow, and ill-informed,” stressing that Switzerland, as UNHRC President, must avoid wasting the Council’s time with blatantly false narratives. Instead, India urged Switzerland to look inward and address its own challenges of racism, systematic discrimination, and xenophobia.

“As the world’s largest, most diverse, and vibrant democracy with a deep-rooted tradition of pluralism, India stands willing to even assist Switzerland in tackling these challenges,” Tyagi added.

Gupta said this firm stand underscores India’s unwavering commitment to protect its sovereignty, dignity, and democratic values. Attempts to malign India on global platforms are politically motivated, misleading, and divorced from ground realities. “The BJP fully supports the Government of India’s uncompromising stand at international forums. India will never bow before false propaganda and will continue to uphold the truth with strength and confidence,” Gaurav Gupta asserted.
