India, Pak To Face Off On Kashmir At UN Rights Body Meet

New Delhi: India and Pakistan are expected to face off on Tuesday over Jammu and Kashmir at the ongoing UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva, Switzerland.

Pakistan, which has so far been unsuccessfully flagging the government’s move to end special status to J&K at various international forums, had announced that it will speak on the matter.

On Monday, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who is leading their delegation, tweeted that Pakistan will speak “definitively” at UNHRC sessions on Kashmir.

The Indian delegation is led by Ajay Bisaria, the High Commissioner expelled by Pakistan as part of a five-point plan to downgrade ties with India, and Vijay Thakur Singh, Secretary East.
