"Pakistan, and a strong proponent of mono-ethnic culture and mono-ethnic dominance, is violating every international treaty and declaration on human rights," Vimarsh Aryan said. "Pakistan's sole objective as a member of this council is to distract the attention of international community from serious human rights violations committed by it against its own people and in Indian territories occupied by it," he added.

"During this pandemic, when everyone is putting on a mask for the safety and protection of fellow human beings, Pakistan, unfortunately, is using another kind of pernicious mask to masquerade as a champion of human rights that it itself violates by torturing and persecuting minorities," Aryan said.

India Hits Out at Pakistan at SAARC:
India on Thursday urged the member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) to collectively resolve to defeat Pakistan sponsored cross-border terrorism. In the annual informal meeting of the SAARC council of ministers, held virtually, India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar slammed Pakistan indirectly.
Without mentioning Pakistan, Jaishankar urged the member states "to collectively resolve to defeat the scourge of terrorism, including the forces that nurture, support and encourage an environment of terror and conflict, which impede the objective of SAARC to realise its full potential for collective collaboration and prosperity across South Asia".
