The Congress today hit out at the government over the UN report on alleged human rights violation in Kashmir, saying how did it allow the world body to come out with such a report.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, during a briefing here, accused the government of "criminal failure" on the foreign policy front.
"We are very agitated, concerned and worried, (that) how did the UN report on human rights see the light of the day. The prime minister keeps going to address the diaspora across the world. He talks big, comes back and this is what we get," Khera said.
The UN, earlier this month, had released the first-ever report on alleged human rights violation in Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and demanded an international probe into it, evoking a sharp reaction from India which had termed the document as "fallacious and motivated".
New Delhi had also lodged a strong protest with the United Nations, saying the government is "deeply concerned that individual prejudices are being allowed to undermine the credibility of a UN institution."
"Congress criticised the report in far more sharper and stronger words than the government of the day. How was that report allowed. How did the report come out."
