India on Monday called Pakistan a killing field for minorities, reported news agency ANI. The country’s delegate made the remarks while addressing a session at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

India accused Pakistan of violently executing its Christian citizens. “It should be matter of concern for Council that Pakistan continuously misuses this august forum for malicious propaganda against my country. None of Pakistan’s vile accusations against India could stifle voice of minorities and people under its subjugation.”

Indian Diplomat Pawan Badhe added, “Fate of religious and ethnic minorities is well known when beheading is the only option in Pakistan in exchange for freedom of religion. Various international organizations have termed Pakistan as the killing field for minorities.”

“Ahmadis remain the most persecuted community in Pakistan under the aegis of the so-called Constitution of Pakistan. Hundreds of Christians are persecuted every year while maximum of them are subjected to violent deaths in Pakistan,” the Bedhe said at the 45th session of the UNHRC. 

He slammed Pakistan for ‘hoodwinking’ the world to delist over 4,000 terrorists when everyone is fighting the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s not without reason that Pakistan remains a safe harbour for terrorists. While the world is busy combatting COVID-19 pandemic, Pakistan hoodwinks the world to allow delisting more than 4,000 proscribed terrorists to sustain its terror ecosystem,” Bedhe said during the session.

Earlier, India had accused Pakistan of being an epicentre of terrorism.
