At the United Nations General Assembly, Rabia Ijaz, a Pakistani diplomat, strongly criticized India. She said that a country like India — where hate, mob violence, and unfair treatment of people are common — has no right to talk about protecting others.
The UN meeting was about “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P), a global idea meant to stop serious crimes like mass killings. Pakistan’s Deputy Ambassador, Usman Jadoon, said this idea has become meaningless because the world failed to protect people in Palestine and Kashmir.
In response, an Indian representative accused Pakistan of mistreating its minorities and being involved in a recent attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir. The Indian representative also said that Kashmir is a part of India.

Rabia Ijaz replied, saying that under India’s current government (BJP-RSS), the country has become a place where minorities like Muslims, Christians, and Dalits are in danger. She said:
People are lynched (killed by mobs), and the government stays silent.
Bulldozers are used to punish whole communities.
Mosques are destroyed.
Some people are denied citizenship because of their religion.
She said this is not protecting people, it is hurting them, and it is being done with government approval.
About Kashmir, she said India’s claim that it is part of India is not true. The United Nations still considers it a disputed area, and many UN resolutions give the people of Kashmir the right to vote on their future.
She also accused India of attacking civilian areas in Pakistan recently, killing 35 innocent people.
She further said that India supports terrorist groups like TTP and BLA, and is involved in attacks like the 2014 Army Public School massacre and a recent school bus attack in Khuzdar.
In the end, she said countries that abuse people at home and cause chaos in other countries should not be allowed to use the “Responsibility to Protect” idea as an excuse. If the world truly cares about protecting people, it must also protect them from countries like India.
