India calls out Pak at UN over harassment of minorities

India slammed Pakistan’s “mischievous provocation” and “political propaganda” during a Security Council meeting on women, peace and security, saying the condition of women belonging to minority communities, notably Hindus, Sikhs and Christians in the country remained deplorable.

“It is despicable yet entirely predictable that one delegation has chosen to indulge in mischievous provocation based on their tried and tested tactic of spreading misinformation,” India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador P Harish said in the UNSC on Friday.

In a strong Right of Reply to Pakistan, which again raked the issue of Kashmir at the debate, Harish said women of the minority communities were subject to “abduction and forced conversions” in Pakistan.
