India Criticizes UN for Ignoring Pakistan's Repression in Kashmir
India is upset with the United Nations because it thinks the UN is not paying enough attention to the problems in Pakistan, especially in the part of Kashmir that Pakistan controls.
India says Pakistan is suppressing human rights and freedoms there.
India's representative, P. Harish, talked about this at a UN meeting.
He mentioned that at least 34 people have been killed since June, and recently, six people were killed in Tararkhal.
He also talked about how Pakistan's government is imprisoning leaders like former Prime Minister Imran Khan and banning political parties.
India says Pakistan should focus on its own problems instead of blaming others.
Pakistan, on the other hand, denies these allegations and says it is dealing with internal security issues.
India criticizes the UN for ignoring repression in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
At least 34 Kashmiris have been killed since June, with six killed in Tararkhal on July 14.

Pakistan's 27th Amendment to the Constitution reinforces military power and grants immunity to top military leaders.
India reiterates that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and accuses Pakistan of illegal occupation.
