India Slams Bilawal Bhutto For His Remarks

India: The external affairs ministry said issuing a statement on Friday, Bilawal Bhutto’s outburst was uncivilized. The BJP condemned the Pakistan foreign minister’s personal attack on PM Modi and will hold a nationwide protest on Saturday against Pakistan.

The India-Pakistan war of words at the United Nations over the issue of terrorism witnessed a massive showdown on Friday. India slammed Pakistan’s foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto’s reprehensible comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling them “uncivilised” and “a new low even by Pakistan’s standards”.

The MEA said that the Pakistan FM’s “uncivilised outburst” seems to be a result of his country’s increasing inability to use terrorists and their proxies.

“No country other than Pakistan can boast having 126 global terrorists, 27 UN-banned terror groups. Pakistan glorifies Osama bin Laden as a martyr; shelters terrorists like Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar,” the MEA said.

Bhutto made the comments following India’s External Affairs minister S Jaishankar’s sharp attack on Pakistan over its support to terrorism at the United Nations Security Council meeting.

BJP’s foreign affairs department head Vijay Chauthaiwale said no one takes Bhutto’s comments seriously even in Pakistan. “He is Pakistan’s pappu and remains one,” he said.

Bhutto’s comments came under severe criticism from the BJP leaders as well.

Words war

Foreign minister S Jaishankar and Pakistan foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto have taken potshots at each other several times in the United Nations.

Jaishankar said those who hosted Osama bin Laden do not have the credentials to sermonise as Bilawal raked up the issue of Kashmir at the UN . “Nor can hosting Osama bin Laden and attacking a neighbouring Parliament serve as credentials to sermonize before this council,” he said.

Pakistan’s minister of state for foreign affairs Hina Rabbani Khar blamed India for terrorism and said “no country had used terrorism better than India.”

Jaishankar said one can’t have snakes in the backyard and expect them to only bite the neighbors, calling Pakistan the epicentre of terrorism. “I read the reports on what Hina Rabbani Khar said. I was reminded, more than a decade ago, Hillary Clinton was visiting Islamabad. Hina Rabbani Khar was the minister at that time. Standing next to her, Hillary Clinton said, if you have a snake in the backyard you cannot expect it to bite only your neighbour, eventually, it will bite the people who keep them in the backyard.”

Jaishankar said, the world is not stupid,  replying to a question from a Pakistani journalist. He said that the world has not forgotten who has their fingerprints over a lot of  terror activities in the region and beyond.

In reply to Jaishankar’s attack, Bilawal Bhutto launched a personal attack on PM Modi. He called the prime minister and the foreign minister of the RSS, which “drew inspiration from Hitler’s SS’.

The external affairs ministry issued a statement calling Bilawal Bhutto’s outburst uncivilised. New Delhi said the statement marks a new low even for Pakistan.

In its statement, the ministry called out Pakistan for glorifying Osama bin laden and sheltering terrorists like Lakhvi, Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar etc.

The BJP issued a statement in which it said, “What more can be expected from Pakistan’s Foreign Minister which reflects his and his government’s desperation and mental bankruptcy.” “Does Bilawal Bhutto even have the stature to comment about our PM Narendra Modi who is a true statesman and a highly respected global leader? This demeaning statement of Bilawal Bhutto further lowered the image of Pakistan on the global platform,” the BJP said.

BJP’s Rajyaardhan Singh Rathore said Bilawal’s mother Benazir Bhutto was involved in promoting terrorism in Kashmir and was killed by the same terrorists. Union minister Anurag Thakur said Bilawal’s statement reflects the pain of their defeat at the hand of India in 1971.
