India has asked Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism and vacate illegal occupation of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. In its right to reply at the 33rd Session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva, India highlighted human rights violations in Balochistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh and persecution of minorities including Hindus. New Delhi call upon the Council to urge Pakistan to fulfill its obligation to vacate illegal occupation of PoK.

Raising once again the blatant abuse and violation of human rights in the PoK and in other parts of Pakistan, including Balochistan, India said it is adversely impacting the stability of the entire region.

Earlier, making a statement at the session India called upon the Council to urge Pakistan to put an end to cross-border infiltration; dismantle the terrorism infrastructure and stop acting as an epicentre of terrorism.

The Indian statement comes a day after heavily armed terrorists from Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad stormed an army base in Uri in Kashmir on Sunday killing 18 jawans
