India Slams UN Rights Envoy For Criticising Country Over Farmers' Protest

Responding to UN envoy’s criticism of India over farmers’ protest, Indian representative to the UNHRC, Indra Mani Pandey said the government is holding dialogues to break the deadlock. Earlier, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet had criticised the Indian government for booking journalists and activists under sedition charges for supporting the farmers’ protests. While Michelle also mentioned the Kashmir issue, Indra rejected her claims saying that the UN envoy lacked “objectivity and impartiality”.
