GENEVA: India slammed Switzerland's remarks on minorities at the 5th Meeting of the 60th Session of the Human Rights Council , urging them to focus on their own issues like racism, systematic discrimination, and xenophobia instead of lecturing India.
Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi Wednesday criticised Switzerland's comments as "surprising, shallow and ill-informed," highlighting India as the "world's largest, most diverse and vibrant democracy" with a strong tradition of pluralism, offering assistance to Switzerland on these matters.
"India remains ready to help Switzerland address these concerns," Tyagi said. This comes after Switzerland urged India to protect minorities and uphold freedom of expression and the media.
