Right of Reply by India under Agenda Item 2: General debate at the 55th Regular Session of the UN Human Rights Council (26 Feb – 5 April 2024), delivered by Ms. Jagpreet Kaur, Under Secretary, 4 March 2024, Geneva

Mr. Vice President,

We have taken the floor previously during this Session and conveyed our disinclination to waste the Council’s time in responding to fallacious comments about India, by one particular delegation, which does so as they do not have anything constructive to contribute.

It is unfortunate that this country continues with its diatribe against India, including by continuing to misuse the OIC’s platform to further their own politically motivated agenda.

Mr. Vice President,

We do not wish to dignify such remarks by responding to them, and are taking the floor again only to urge that delegation to introspect on their own appalling human rights record and their deserved global reputation as the world’s terrorism factory.

Thank you, Mr Vice President.
