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.
