UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Ahmad Shaheed, has accused Indian government of tacitly allowing incitement to violence against Muslims in the country.
This has been revealed in a report presented to the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council, which documented the state-driven hatred, discrimination and violence against minorities in India.
The UN Special Rapporteur also denounced the wide-ranging Indian atrocities in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN Offices in Geneva, Khalil Hashmi, called on the UN expert to continue monitoring and reporting on the situation, especially the Kashmiri people's inalienable right to self-determination.
