India on Wednesday castigated Pakistan and the OIC for raising the Kashmir issue at the UN Human Rights Council, saying it does not need lessons from a "failed state" and the "epicentre of terrorism" and chided the 57-nation bloc for "helplessly" allowing itself to be held "hostage" by Islamabad.

At the 48th session of the UNHRC, India mounted a blistering attack on Pakistan, saying it has been globally recognised as a country openly supporting, training, financing and arming terrorists including UN proscribed terrorists as a "matter of state policy".

India's response was delivered by Pawan Badhe, the first secretary in its permanent mission in Geneva.
