Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan has lashed out at Pakistan for denying human rights to residents of occupied Kashmir and warned against attempts to misinterpret the 'right of self determination' to undermine the territorial integrity of a state.

Pakistan should stop pretending to be protector of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir while denying such rights in areas of State occupied by it, she said addressing a UN Committee on Tuesday.

Pakistan has hardly any case, the actress told the delegates, pointing out that India had held regular elections in the State which fully meet the aspiration of the people.

Despite Pakistan's attempt to raise the issue, Bachchan said New Delhi looks forward to moving forward the composite bilateral dialogue with Islamabad.

In this context, she warned the international community against attempts to distort and misinterpret the 'right to self-determination' as right of a group based on ethnicity, religion and any other categorisation to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a State.

"Ethnic or religious segregation and chauvinism cannot be legitimised on the ground that societies need to be constituted on homogenous lines before they can be tolerant towards diversity and accept multi-culturalism. Such a view will only aid forces of extreme nationalism and narrow chauvinism," Bachchan said.
