New York, Dec 16: The war of words between India and Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council is turning nasty as Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi "butcher of Gujarat lives". This comes a day after External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar slammed Pakistan at UN open debate for sheltering terrorists and cross-border terrorism.
In his address at the UN open debate, Jaishankar reminded the world how Pakistan had hosted Osama Bin Laden and is sponsoring terror activities in India including the 2001 attack on the Indian parliament.
Pakistan’s foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari addressed a press conference in New York later in the day, where he insulted Prime Minister of India and claimed that Pakistan is a big victim of terrorism, and alleged that India is trying to paint all Muslims in the world as terrorists.
"I will like to remind the honourable minister of external affairs of India, that Osama Bin Laden is dead, but the butcher of India lives. And he is the prime minister of India. He was banned from entering this country until he became the Prime Minister. This is the Prime Minister of the RSS and the Foreign Minister of the RSS. What is the RSS? The RSS takes inspiration from Hitler’s SS," he said.
What Jaishankar had said?
While speaking in the Council’s open debate on reformed multilateralism, Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto raised the Kashmir issue. Reacting strongly to his remarks, Jaishankar had stated, "While we search for the best solutions, what are those that we must never accept include the normalisation of such threats. The question of justifying what the world regards as unacceptable should not even arise. It certainly applies to states’ sponsorship of cross- border terrorism. Nor can hosting Osama Bin Laden and attacking a neighbouring Parliament can serve as credentials for sermonizing before this council."
However, the Pakistani foreign minister denied that he was in a war of words with S Jaishankar, and avoided the question on whether it will escalate the tension between India and Pakistan.
