India Rejects Pakistan's Criticism Over Kashmiri Separatist's Sentencing

In a stern rebuke, India dismissed Pakistan's condemnation of the life imprisonment sentences handed to Kashmiri separatist leader Asiya Andrabi and her two associates. Andrabi, the chief of banned group Dukhtaran-e-Millat, was convicted by a Delhi court for conspiring against the State.

Pakistan's foreign ministry expressed disapproval, calling Andrabi a vocal advocate for the Kashmir cause. However, India's External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that Pakistan lacks any legitimate grounds to comment on India's internal or judicial matters.

Emphasizing India's judicial processes, Jaiswal criticized Pakistan for backing a banned terrorist organization and emphasized the need for Islamabad to address its own human rights violations rather than spreading untruths and supporting terrorism.
