India delivered a sharp rebuttal to Pakistan at the 61st Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir's development budget is more than double Pakistan's recent IMF bailout package. India's representative Anupama Singh categorically rejected allegations by Pakistan and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, accusing them of running an "echo chamber." Singh reaffirmed J&K as an integral part of India, calling its 1947 accession legally irrevocable. She cited the Chenab Rail Bridge, the world's highest railway bridge as proof of J&K's progress, mocking Pakistan's denials as "La-la-land" thinking. She also dismissed Pakistan's democracy lectures, highlighting its history of incomplete civilian government terms.
