India said Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Zardari Bhutto’s uncivilised outburst seems to be a result of Pakistan’s increasing inability to use terrorists and their proxies

India has taken strong exception to Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Zardari Bhutto “uncivilized” remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that “such comments are a new low, even for Pakistan.”

“The Foreign Minister of Pakistan has obviously forgotten this day in 1971, which was a direct result of the genocide unleashed by Pakistani rulers against ethnic Bengalis and Hindus. Unfortunately, Pakistan does not seem to have changed much in the treatment of its minorities. It certainly lacks credentials to cast aspersions at India,” MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said in response to media queries.

On Thursday, India hit back at Pakistan after it raised the Kashmir issue in the UN Security Council, stating that a country that hosted dreaded Al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden and attacked a neighbouring Parliament does not have the credentials to sermonise in the power UN organ.

Frustrated at this, Pakistan Foreign Minister used highly objectionable language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi

“Pakistan FM’s frustration would be better directed towards the masterminds of terrorist enterprises in his own country, who have made terrorism a part of their state policy. Pakistan needs to change its own mindset or remain a pariah,” Arindam Bagchi said, hitting the Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Zardari Bhutto hard.

MEA Spokesperson said, “Recent conferences and events have demonstrated, counter terrorism remains high on the global agenda. Pakistan’s indisputable role in sponsoring, harbouring, and actively financing terrorist and terrorist organisations remains under the scanner. Pakistan FM’s uncivilised outburst seems to be a result of Pakistan’s increasing inability to use terrorists and their proxies.”

He said cities like New York, Mumbai, Pulwama, Pathankot and London are among the many that bear the scars of Pakistan-sponsored, supported and instigated terrorism. This violence has emanated from their Special Terrorist Zones and exported to all parts of the world. "Make in Pakistan” terrorism must stop.

The MEA Spokesperson said, “Pakistan is a country that glorifies Osama bin Laden as a martyr, and shelters terrorists like Lakhvi, Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar, Sajid Mir and Dawood Ibrahim. No other country can boast having 126 UN-designated terrorists and 27 UN-designated terrorist entities!”

“We wish that the Pakistan FM would have listened more sincerely yesterday at the UN Security Council to the testimony of Ms. Anjali Kulthe, a Mumbai nurse who saved the lives of 20 pregnant women from the bullets of the Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab. Clearly, the Foreign Minister was more interested in whitewashing Pakistan’s role,” Bagchi said.
