US report says India acts minimally, Pakistan rarely acts against rights abuses

The US report highlights discriminatory laws and hate speech in India and excessive force and minority protections failures in Pakistan, with both governments taking limited credible action.

  • On Tuesday, the United States government released a human rights report that said India 'took minimal credible steps' to punish officials, while Pakistan 'rarely took credible steps'.
  • Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch fault rising hate speeches and discriminatory laws, with Amnesty noting authorities' failure to protect minorities and use of 'excessive and unnecessary force' in Pakistan.
  • Washington and New Delhi have not reached a trade deal while the United States reached one with Pakistan in recent weeks, and embassies in Washington had no immediate comment on Tuesday.
  • In Pakistan, authorities insist its elections were fair and dismiss allegations of rigging, while India says New Delhi and Islamabad should resolve ties directly.
  • Last year, a U.N. working group said former Prime Minister Imran Khan's detention violated international law, and rights groups and Western governments raised concerns over the 2024 Pakistani elections.
