Event Summary

India strongly rejected Pakistan's criticism of the life imprisonment sentence given to Kashmiri separatist leader Aasiya Andrabi, founder of the banned Dukhtaran-e-Millat. India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, stated that Pakistan has 'no locus standi' to comment on India's internal judicial matters and accused Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism. Pakistan's foreign ministry had termed the verdict a 'grave miscarriage of justice' and alleged suppression of fundamental rights in Jammu and Kashmir. Aasiya Andrabi and her associates were convicted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for promoting secessionist ideology and conspiring against the state, with the court relying on videos and social media posts showing her advocating for Kashmir's secession to Pakistan. India urged Pakistan to introspect on its own human rights violations instead of peddling 'frivolous narratives'.
