India strongly dismissed comments by UN human rights experts expressing alarm over alleged abuses in Manipur as "unwarranted and misleading". In a note verbale, India's UN mission asserted the situation in Manipur is peaceful and stable. It said the government is committed to protecting human rights. The experts had raised concerns over reports of sexual violence, killings and displacement targeting women and girls. India expressed disappointment the experts released the statement without waiting for India's response. It reiterated its commitment to rule of law and human rights protections in Manipur. India hoped the experts would be more objective and refrain from irrelevant comments in future.
