New Delhi: India denies allegations made by UN mission in Geneva against judicial harassment of journalist Rana Ayub. India’s permanent mission in Geneva dubbed the allegations as “baseless and unwarranted” asserting that the country upholds the rule of law and no one was above it.
“Allegations of so-called judicial harassment are baseless & unwarranted. India upholds the rule of law but is equally clear that no one is above the law. We expect SRs to be objective & accurately informed. Advancing a misleading narrative only tarnishes @UNGeneva’s reputation,” tweeted India’s permanent mission in Geneva.
Earlier, the UN in Geneva tweeted about “relentless misogynistic and sectarian attacks online” against journalist Ayyub and said they must be promptly and thoroughly investigated by the Indian authorities and the “judicial harassment against her brought to an end.”
According to sources, a note from the Indian Mission in Geneva will follow on orally. “They will also take it to the UN office in Geneva,” a source said.
