India once again slammed Pakistan at the United Nations, this time over the neighbouring country’s poor track record on women and security. Speaking at the UNSC debate, Permanent Representative of India to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish called out Pakistan for its “delusional tirade” against India, especially 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,” he said.

The UN representative said India, which has a pioneering record on the Women, Peace and Security agenda, is being called out by Pakistan, a country that conducts systematic genocide on its people.

“A country that bombs its own people, conducts systematic genocide, can only attempt to distract the world with misdirection and hyperbole. This is a country that conducted Operation Searchlight in 1971 and sanctioned a systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape of 400,000 women citizens by its own army. The world sees through Pakistan’s propaganda..,” he said.
