India on July 8 lodged a strong protest with the United Nation rights office over its report on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and asserted that it is merely a continuation of the earlier “false and motivated” narrative and ignores the core issue of cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan.

Last year, the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) released its first-ever report on Kashmir. In an update of that report on July 8, it claimed that “neither India nor Pakistan have taken any concrete steps to address the numerous concerns raised”.

Hitting out at the report, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, “The update of the report of the OHCHR is merely a continuation of the earlier false and motivated narrative on the situation in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir.”
