Petal Gahlot said that India and Pakistan have long agreed that any outstanding issue between them will be addressed bilaterally.

Transcript

00:00Mr. President, this assembly witnessed absurd theatrics in the morning from the Prime Minister

00:09of Pakistan, who once again glorified terrorism that is so central to their foreign policy.

00:16However, no degree of drama and no level of lies can conceal the facts. This is the very

00:23same Pakistan, which at the UN Security Council on 25 April 2025, shielded the resistance front,

00:32a Pakistani-sponsored terror outfit, from the responsibility of carrying out the barbaric

00:38massacre of tourists in the Indian Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Mr. President, a country

00:45long steeped in the tradition of deploying and exporting terrorism has no shame in advancing

00:51the most ludicrous narratives to that end. Let us recall that it sheltered Osama bin Laden

00:57for a decade, even while pretending to partner in the war against terrorism. Its ministers

01:03have just recently acknowledged that they have been operating terrorist camps for decades.

01:09It should come as no surprise that once again this duplicity continues, this time at the level

01:15of its Prime Minister. A picture speaks a thousand words, and we saw many pictures of terrorists

01:22slain in Bahawalpur and Muridke terror complexes by Indian forces during Operation Sindur. When senior

01:30Pakistani military and civilian officials publicly glorify and pay homage to such notorious terrorists,

01:37can there be any doubt about the proclivities of this regime? The Prime Minister of Pakistan also

01:43advanced a bizarre account of the recent conflict with India. The record on this matter is clear.

01:49Till 9th May, Pakistan was threatening more attacks on India, but on 10th May, its military pleaded with

01:56us directly for a cessation to the fighting. The intervening event was the destruction caused to

02:02multiple Pakistani air bases by Indian forces. The pictures of that damage are, of course, publicly accessible.

02:09If destroyed runways and burnt-out hangars look like victory, as the Prime Minister claimed,

02:15Pakistan is welcome to enjoy it. The truth is that, as in the past, Pakistan is responsible for a

02:22terrorist attack on innocent civilians in India. We have exercised the right to defend our people

02:28against such actions and have brought the organizers and perpetrators to justice.

02:33The Pakistani Prime Minister has spoken about wanting peace with India. If he is indeed sincere,

02:39the pathway is clear. Pakistan must immediately shut down all terrorist camps and hand over to us

02:46terrorists wanted in India. It is also ironic that a country which wallows in hate, bigotry and

02:52intolerance should preach to this assembly on matters of faith. The political and public discourse of

02:59Pakistan reflects its true nature. Clearly, a look by them at the mirror is long overdue.

03:05Mr. President, India and Pakistan have long agreed that any outstanding issue between them will be

03:11addressed bilaterally. There is no room for any third party in that regard. This is our long-standing

03:18national position. Where terrorism is concerned, we are making it clear that there will be no distinction

03:25between the terrorists and their sponsors. Both will be held accountable. Nor will we allow terrorism to

03:32be practiced under the cover of a nuclear blackmail. India will never bow to such threats.

03:38India's message to the world is clear. There must be zero tolerance for terrorism.
