India Accuses Pakistan of Political Manipulation at UN

During a session of the United Nations, India delivered a sharp rebuke to Pakistan, accusing its government of blatant political manipulation and undermining the principles of justice. The Indian representative voiced concerns over the recent developments surrounding former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s imprisonment and the subsequent granting of lifetime immunity to Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir. India argued that these parallel actions raise serious questions about the independence of Pakistan’s judiciary and the fairness of its legal system. The Indian delegation asserted that the timing and nature of these events suggest a deliberate attempt to silence political opposition while simultaneously shielding powerful figures from accountability. They characterized the situation as a clear indication of a compromised rule of law, where political expediency trumps due process. India further emphasized that such actions have detrimental consequences for democratic institutions and erode public trust within Pakistan. New Delhi called upon the international community to take note of the concerning developments in Pakistan and to urge the government to uphold its commitments to democratic governance and the protection of human rights. The statement concluded by reiterating India’s commitment to a stable and prosperous region, but stressed that this requires adherence to fundamental principles of justice, transparency, and accountability from all stakeholders.
