India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, has accused Pakistan of conducting “systematic genocide,” while condemning the neighboring country for its actions at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Speaking during the Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security on Tuesday, Ambassador Harish criticized Pakistan, calling it “a country that bombs its own people.” He accused Pakistan of attempting to distract the international community with “misdirection and hyperbole,” particularly regarding the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Our pioneering record on the Women, Peace and Security agenda is unblemished and unscathed,” Harish stated. He further slammed Pakistan for its “delusional tirade” against India, especially concerning Jammu and Kashmir, which he reaffirmed as Indian territory.

The Indian envoy’s remarks came shortly after a Pakistani official at the UNSC alleged that Kashmiri women have endured sexual violence for decades. Responding to these claims, Harish highlighted Pakistan’s history of human rights violations, recalling Operation Searchlight in 1971, during which the Pakistani army reportedly sanctioned a campaign of genocidal mass rape affecting 400,000 women.

“The world sees through Pakistan’s propaganda,” he added, emphasizing India’s stance against the misinformation being spread.

The comments from India followed statements by Counsellor Saima Saleem of Pakistan’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, who accused occupying forces of deploying sexual violence as a weapon of war against Kashmiri women over several decades.

India has also recently condemned Pakistan as a country with “one of the world’s worst human rights records.” New Delhi continues to assert firmly that Jammu and Kashmir “was, is, and shall forever remain” an integral part of India.

India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, has strongly accused Pakistan of conducting “systematic genocide” during a recent session at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Speaking during the Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security, Ambassador Harish condemned Pakistan, describing it as “a country that bombs its own people” and accusing it of using misdirection and hyperbole to distract the world. He referred to Pakistan’s “delusional tirade” against India, particularly concerning Jammu and Kashmir.

“Every year, we are unfortunately fated to listen to the delusional tirade of Pakistan against my country, especially on Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian territory they covet,” Harish stated. He emphasized India’s “pioneering record on Women, Peace and Security agenda” as “unblemished and unscathed.”

The Indian envoy highlighted Pakistan’s dark history, recalling Operation Searchlight in 1971, during which Pakistan’s army sanctioned a systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape against 400,000 women. “The world sees through Pakistan’s propaganda,” Harish added.

India’s response came shortly after a Pakistani official at the UNSC, Counsellor Saima Saleem from the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations, alleged that Kashmiri women have endured decades of sexual violence, which she described as a weapon of war used during the occupation.

In reaction, India reiterated its strong stance, having also recently condemned Pakistan as a country with “one of the world’s worst human rights records.” New Delhi continues to assert that Jammu and Kashmir “was, is and shall forever” remain an integral part of India.
