New
Delhi,
Dec

The
comments
by
Pakistan’s
foreign
minister,
Bilawal
Bhutto
is
new
low
for
Pakistan
too,
the
Ministry
of
External
Affairs
(MEA)
Saigon
Friday.
The
MEA’s
official
response
was
to
Bilawal
Bhutto’s
personal
attack
on
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
at
the
United
Nations.
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,”
the
MEA
said
in
a
statement.
Foreign
Minister
Bilawal
Bhutto
Zardari
“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,”
the
ministry’s
statement
read.
When
Bilawal
Bhutto
raised
the
Kashmir
issue
at
the
UN,
India’s
external
affairs
minister,
Dr.
S
Jaishankar
hit
back
and
said
that
those
who
hosted
Osama
Bin
Laden
have
no
right
to
sermonise
at
the
council.
In
a
reply
Bilawal
had
launched
a
derogatory
attack
on
Prime
Minister
Modi
and
the
RSS,
which
drew
severe
condemnation
from
New
Delhi.
Pakistani
FM
Bilawal
Bhutto
calls
for
climate
justice
Dr.
Jaishankar
also
hit
out
at
Pakistan
when
asked
by
a
Pakistan
journalist
about
terrorism
emanating
out
of
India.
“In
terms
of
what
they
are
saying,
the
truth
is
everybody,
the
world
today,
sees
them
as
the
epicentre
of
terrorism.
I
know
we’ve
been
through
two
and
a
half
years
of
Covid
and
a
lot
of
us
have
brain
fog
as
a
result.
But
I
assure
you
the
world
has
not
forgotten
where
terrorism
emanates
from,
who
has
their
fingerprints
over
a
lot
of
activities
in
the
region
and
beyond
the
region.
So,
I
would
say
that
it’s
something
which
they
should
remind
themselves
before
indulging
in
the
kind
of
fantasies
which
they
do,”
India’s
foreign
minister
added.
