MIM backs Centre over UN human rights report

Hyderabad, June 16: Rejecting the United Nations report on alleged human rights vioaltions in the Kashmir Valley, the MIM has said that the world body has no right to interfere in the internal matters of India, but also dubbed the report as “diplomatic failure” of the Centre. Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday said that his party fully supported the government of India on the issue since it dealt with the country’s sovereignty. Owaisi however said that the report of the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was a “diplomatic failure” of the Modi government. Addressing a meeting at the historic Mecca Masjid, the Hyderabad MP said that the MIM stands with the government despite its differences with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “I will oppose Modi till my last breath, but when it comes to the country we support the government, irrespective of the party in power,” he said.
