India slams UN rights body for raising concern over mass detentions: ‘Unwarranted interference’

India has criticized the UN Human Rights Council for raising concerns over mass detentions in the country, calling it 'unwarranted interference'.

The Indian government maintains that the detentions are carried out in accordance with the law and are necessary for maintaining public order.

The UN body had expressed concern over the detention of thousands of people, including politicians and activists, in Indian-administered Kashmir following the revocation of its special status in 2019.

The Indian statement comes ahead of the UNHRC's 46th session, where the Kashmir situation is expected to be discussed.
