Citing the situation in Kashmir, she said “thousands of women have fallen victims to brutal oppression and occupation. Countless others have suffered rape and sexual abuse, the worst and most traumatic form of violence.”
Joshi said it is “ironical” that a country that has “institutionalised the oppression” of women in its society through “medieval draconian laws is making claims about the rights of women in a pluralistic democracy such as India.”
He said Pakistan will be well served to “seriously examine” what ails its women and hampers their advancement.
Pakistan has been constantly raising the Kashmir issue at various platforms in the UN, including in the General Assembly and its various committees that deal with diverse issues such as disarmament and decolonisation.
