India strongly rejected a UN report on Myanmar's human rights situation, denouncing it as "blinkered and baseless analysis." Lok Sabha MP Dilip Saikia dismissed claims by UN Special Rapporteur Thomas H Andrews linking the April 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack to displaced Myanmar nationals in India, calling them without "factual basis whatsoever." The UN expert alleged refugees faced harassment and detention threats post-attack, despite no Myanmar nationals' involvement. Saikia urged the UN to avoid "unverified media reports" maligning India, emphasizing the nation's 200 million Muslims living harmoniously. India reiterated concerns about Myanmar's deteriorating situation affecting cross-border security, including drug trafficking and radicalization, while supporting a "Myanmar-owned" democratic peace process and continuing humanitarian operations.
