Army Chief General Bipin Rawat slammed the UN report on alleged human rights violations in Kashmir, dubbing it as “motivated” .
The human rights record of the Indian Army, he said, was well known to the people of Kashmir and to the international community.
“I don't need to speak about the human rights record of the Indian Army. It is well known to all of you, it is well known to the people of Kashmir, and to the international community. I don't think we should get too concerned about the report, some of these reports are motivated,” Rawat told reporters on the sidelines of an event on 27 June.
The human rights record of the Indian Army is absolutely above board, he maintained.
India had vehemently rejected the report as “fallacious, tendentious and motivated”.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had said that the report was “overtly prejudiced” and seeks to build a “false narrative”.
