Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat rejects UN report on Jammu and Kashmir, calls it 'motivated'

New Delhi, Jun 27 (Zee News): Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat on Wednesday rejected the United Nations' controversial report on Jammu and Kashmir and called it ''motivated''.

"I don't think we need to speak on the United Nations report on Jammu and Kashmir. Some of these reports are motivated," Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said.

While speaking to reporters here, Gen Rawat said not much attention should be given to the recent United Nations report on Kashmir.

"The Army's human rights record is above board, and the people of India, Army personnel and countries worldwide know the truth. We must not pay much heed to this, some of these reports are motivated," he said.

His remarks came a day after the Government of India too slammed the UN report on Kashmir, calling it 'fallacious and motivated'.

In its reaction, the Centre said the UN report is based on 'unverified information'.

The Ministry of External Affairs said the United Nations report is 'overtly prejudiced' and seeks to build a 'false narrative'.

"The report violates India's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Pakistan is in the illegal and forcible occupation of a part of the Indian state through aggression. We have repeatedly called upon Pakistan to vacate the occupied territories. The incorrect description of Indian territory in the report is mischievous, misleading and unacceptable. There are no entities such as "Azad Jammu and Kashmir" and "Gilgit-Baltistan," the MEA said in a statement.

"It is disturbing that those behind this report have chosen to describe internationally designated and UN-proscribed terrorist entities as "armed groups" and terrorists as "leaders". This undermines the UN-led consensus on zero tolerance to terrorism," it further noted.

Earlier this month, the United Nations Human Rights Office had released a 49-page report, which called for a probe into alleged human rights violations in Kashmir by both India and Pakistan.

This report was strongly criticised by politicos and defence experts alike.

    Never seen this type of India isolation in 70 years. World doesn't value Indian govt's word. Nobody listens to India where BJP ruled by Faku Modi and world knows it very well. Soon even Modi's visit to US also be evoked and banned from visiting US. BJP couldn't do a good job while with coalition in J&K and had to bow out neither the centre is any better only good upto cowshed politics and chaddi stick goondas to harass innocent civilians.

    What is the problem with these Kashmiries. If there is peace then Government military will not intervene. Army only trying to tame the armed militants to bring peace in the region.

    America withdrew from UN human rights commission. India should follow suit. It is become an Arab dominated self interest group.

    Someone once described the United Nations as a weak organization, which will collapse the moment it becomes strong. I feel it is just a club for nations to sit down together to gossip, share jokes, brush up oratorical skills on a world stage, have gala dinners and festivals. I don't think it has successfully solved any problem anywhere in the world when any member with a veto has objected. The members of the veto club spend most of the time bullying other nations and enforcing their will. The United Nations sends peace keeps to trouble spots with no powers and most of the time they are mere observers watching killings and disturbances happening under their very noses. Millions of Dollars are spent on staff salaries and therefore one can also call it an employment agency. In the end it is a spineless and a toothless organization, which every country ignores but is a member.

    Nowadays UNO is dominated by Arab countries, Due to their money power they can buy UNO members, Human rights groups, NGO's , That's why you can see numerous advertisement , support to Rohingys under UNO banner , also support Hamas group and Kashmir stone pelter's , You can see their mindset and support to particular group, USA threatens to come out from UNO last week due to divisive politics

    @Charan
    Oh really? Where did u get those information?
    The fact is infront of the world that Arab world and the ME are most affected and remained suffering side under puppet organization influenced under USA and zionist regime.

    You people justify them when they lie the world and attack Iraq on war on terror and murdering millions. You people defend USA for drone attcacks against afghanistan and killings of innocents. You guys still defend UNSC whenever they turned blind eyes israeli aggression against palestenians.
    Now When it comes to kashmir, all of sudden you changed your tunes and blaming arab states. Why double standard.

    Gen Bipin Rawat just wants to hear praises and not willing to accept criticism based fact — most unbecoming of an Army Chief!

    I am not agreeing with the report and saying it is right, but my problem is that we Indians whenever we come across an adverse report take offence and react and call such reports biased and motivated, and at the same time whenever we come across any favourable report we thump our chests and blow our trumpets and agree wholeheartedly. Why don't we reject even those reports? Why cant those reports too be motivated? Why do we have to react either way on foreign reports? Why can't we simply ignore all reports.

    UN has become a joke. Doesn't have the capability to solve Syria Crisis, Yemen War. We should work hard in creating strong lobby groups in every International Organisation and in major Nations of the world.
    Countries who intervene in Kashmir issue should be dealt with a severe manner especially Turkey, Azerbaijan and few countries of OIC(Organisation of Islamic Cooperation).

    Presently UN organisations like UNHRC are controlled by members from monarchies and dictatorial regimes like China, KSA, Jordan, etc., which have the worst human rights record in their own countries. What more can we expect from their report? The UN body needs to be overhauled and reformed by strictly providing membership to free, liberal democratic countries only.

    Ha Ha... Extremely funny ...I too criticize UN ..But criticism should be genuine not out of emotions... Last time I heard only few white countries and China has veto power(Your free liberal, democratic countries)... No Muslim nations or black African countries... You are blaming wrong people here... UN criticized ISIS ,it also criticize Israel and Myanmar .. But we know it is a toothless tiger created by West to advance it's interest .Its report may be genuine but not the intention since any move against these countries will be blocked by the same countries which is "free liberal democratic "
    But there is no denial Indian Army does Human Rights violation in Kashmir for that we don't need UN report it is happening in front of our eyes..criticising something wrong done by our own institution doesn't make you anti national but otherwise
