In a strong retort against Pakistan in the UN Security Council (UNSC), India on Monday described its neighbour as a country that “bombs its own people” and conducts “systematic genocide”.

During his remarks to the UNSC open debate on “Women, Peace and Security”, India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said Pakistan conducted Operation Searchlight in 1971 and sanctioned a systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape of 400,000 women citizens by its own army.

“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," the Indian envoy said.

“A country that bombs its own people, conducts systematic genocide, can only attempt to distract the world with misdirection and hyperbole," Harish said. The world sees through Pakistan's propaganda, he added.  On March 25, 1971, the Pakistani army had launched a brutal crackdown involving widespread civilian killings throughout East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) code-named 'Operation Searchlight'.
