“I would like to remind Mr. Jaishankar that Osama bin Laden is dead, but the butcher of Gujarat lives, and he is the prime minister (of India)”.

The Pakistani foreign minister made this statement while responding to Indian minister for external affairs, S. Jaishankar. The exchange happened minutes after the Indian foreign minister accused Pakistan of perpetuating terrorism and sheltering Osama bin Laden.

“He (Narendra Modi) was banned from entering this country (the United States). These are the prime minister and foreign minister of RSS, which draws inspiration from Hitler’s SS,” Bilawal added.

At foreign minister Bhutto-Zardari’s briefing, a journalist asked why the Indian and Pakistani ministers appeared to be engaged in 'a war of words'.

“This is not in a war of words. I have not noticed,” the Pakistani foreign minister replied, adding that he was a victim of terrorism as his mother was killed by terrorists along with thousands of other Pakistanis.

“We have lost far more lives to terrorism than India did,” said Mr Bhutto-Zardari while pointing out that “India has been playing in the space” that has made it “very easy” to bracket Muslims with terrorism. “India has very skilfully blurred this line, making like us all terrorists who are actually victims.” The Pakistani foreign minister noted that India has continuously perpetuated this philosophy, not just for Pakistani but Muslims in India too.

In a previous statement to the United Nations Security Council, foreign minister Bhutto-Zardari also said that India should not be elevated as a permanent member of the top UN body.
