‘Prioritise welfare over military directives’: India raps Pak on minority rights

At the United Nations General Assembly's Third Committee, India criticized Pakistan's track record on minority rights during an interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues. Raghoo Puri, India's First Secretary at the Permanent Mission to the UN, urged Islamabad to shift its focus toward citizen welfare rather than military directives.

The exchange highlighted ongoing diplomatic tensions between the neighboring nations at the international forum, with India specifically calling out Pakistan's conduct regarding minority populations.
