‘Bangladesh came into existence due to genocide’
“Bangladesh came into existence 50 years ago because of Pakistan’s shameful history of genocide in East Pakistan, which was never acknowledged, never apologized and no accountability fixed,” he said. Bhat said that after Pakistan’s representative raised the issue of Jammu and Kashmir in the UN Security Council, there was an open debate on “strengthening accountability and justice for serious violations of international law” under the chairmanship of Council President Albania. .

‘Pakistan keeps avoiding accountability for genocide’
Earlier in the day, Minister of State for External Affairs Dr. Rajkumar Ranjan Singh said in the Council debate that accountability and justice cannot be linked with political gains. “Pakistan’s representatives set before the Security Council a living example of how a country shirks accountability for serious crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing,” he said. It may be too much of a demand to talk about its consideration, but the least he can do is not to disturb the dignity of this council.
‘Pakistan should stop supporting terrorism against India’
Bhat said that innocent women, children, academics and intellectuals were seen as weapons in the “genocide by Pakistan Army” under “Operation Searchlight”. “Thousands of people were brutally killed, thousands of women were raped during the reign of terror unleashed by Pakistan on the population of erstwhile East Pakistan,” he said. Bhat said the only contribution Pakistan can make is to stop its support to terrorism against India and its people.
‘India will continue to take concrete steps’
“The representative of Pakistan also talked about the so-called changes in the nature of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said. The only attempt at demographic change is being made by terrorists, backed by their countries, and targeting those who refuse to follow the religious minorities in Jammu and Kashmir. Bhat said she wanted to assure the Pakistani representative that India would continue to take “concrete and decisive steps” to respond to cross-border terrorism.
“Finally, let me correct another misleading statement from Pakistan,” he said. The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were and will always be an integral and inseparable part of India. “It also includes those areas which are under illegal occupation of Pakistan,” Bhat said. No rhetoric and propaganda from any country can deny this fact.
