India strongly denounced Pakistan at the UN Security Council (UNSC), calling it a nation that "bombs its own people". During the Open Debate on Women, Peace, and Security, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, condemned Pakistan for engaging in "systematic genocide" and relying on "misdirection and hyperbole" to divert global attention from its actions. "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. Our pioneering record on the Women, Peace and Security agenda is unblemished and unscathed," Harish said on Tuesday (Oct 6), after a Pakistani official claimed that the Kashmiri women have "endured sexual violence for decades". "A country that bombs its own people, conducts systematic genocide, can only attempt to distract the world with misdirection and hyperbole," he said, referring to Islamabad. The Indian envoy further condemned Pakistan for conducting Operation Searchlight in 1971 and sanctioning a "systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape of 400,000 women citizens by its own army". "This is a country that conducted Operation Searchlight in 1971 and sanctioned a systematic campaign of genocidal mass rape of 400,000 women citizens by its own army.

Speaking during Agenda Item 4 of the UNHRC session, Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi accused Pakistan of “abusing” the forum with “baseless and provocative statements against India”. “Instead of coveting our territory, they would do well to vacate the Indian territory under their illegal occupation and focus on rescuing an economy on life support, a polity muzzled by military dominance, and a human rights record stained by persecution, perhaps once they find time away from exporting terrorism, harbouring UN-proscribed terrorists, and bombing their own people,” Tyagi said.
