Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi delivered a sharp rebuttal to Pakistan, denouncing it as a “failed state” addicted to propaganda and terror, at the 5th Meeting of the 60th Session of the UN Human Rights Council. He said, “Our measured and proportionate response to the Pahalagm attack made that sufficiently clear. We need no lessons from a terror sponsor, no sermons from a persecutor of minorities, no advice from a state that has conjured its own credibility. India will continue to protect its citizens with unwavering resolve. We will defend our sovereignty without compromise. And we will continue to expose, time and again, the elaborate deception of a failed state whose survival depends upon trafficking in terror and tragedy.”

In a separate comment during the same session, Kshitij Tyagi added, “We are compelled once again to address provocations from a country whose own leadership recently likened it to a dump truck. Perhaps an inadvertently apt metaphor for a state that continues to deposit recycled falsehoods and stale propaganda before this distinguished council. Pakistan’s systematic abuse of this forum, coupled with its routine manipulation of the OIC as its mouthpiece, has become a familiar pattern. Its pathological fixation on India appears to provide it with existential validation.”

This is not the first time the diplomat has issued a fiery rejoinder to Pakistan at the UN. In February this year, at the 58th Regular Session of the Human Rights Council, Kshitij Tyagi condemned Pakistan as a “failed state” that survives on “international handouts.”

“It is regrettable to see Pakistan’s so-called leaders and delegates continuing to dutifully spread falsehoods handed down by its military terrorist complex,” he said at the time, calling Pakistan’s repeated attempts to raise Jammu and Kashmir at multilateral forums “baseless and malicious.”

Kshitij Tyagi also criticised Islamabad for “making a mockery” of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) by using it as a political mouthpiece.

“We do not wish to dignify such propaganda, but are constrained to make a few simple points for the record,” he said.

At the time, Kshitij Tyagi stressed that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India.

“The unprecedented political, social and economic progress in J&K in the past few years speaks for itself. These successes are a testament to the people’s trust in the government’s commitment to bring normalcy to a region scarred by decades of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism,” he said.
