“Our representatives at the UN Human Rights Council pointed out that Pakistan is a country where human rights abuses, persecution of minorities, and systematic erosion of democratic values are state policies which brazenly harbour UN sanctioned terrorists,” Jaishankar said, adding that Pakistan is no position to lecture anyone and should focus on providing governance and justice to its own people.He informed the House that there were three other cases related to atrocities against members of the Sikh community. In one case, a Sikh family was attacked; in another, a Sikh family was threatened for reopening an old Gurdwara, and another case involved abduction and conversion of a girl from the Sikh community, the MEA said.Jaishankar asserted that India is flagging these incidents in the international level. “Like in Pakistan, we track the well-being of minorities in Bangladesh too… In 2024, we had 2,400 incidents related to attacks on minorities and in 2025, there were 72… I have taken it up with my counterpart there. The foreign secretary too took it up during his visit,” Jaishankar said.
