Harbors Terrorists, Bombs Own People: India Attacks Pakistan Once Again, But This Time With Words

At the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, India tore into Pakistan for the shocking airstrike carried out by the Pakistani Air Force in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Tirah Valley. At least 30 civilians, including women and children, were killed when Pakistan’s China-made JF-17 fighter jets dropped precision-guided bombs on a sleeping village.
Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi minced no words, accusing Islamabad of “bombing their own people” while wasting the UN platform to launch “baseless and provocative” tirades against New Delhi.
Shouldn’t Pakistan fix its economy instead of daydreaming about Kashmir?
“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,” Tyagi said, mocking Pakistan’s collapsing economy and authoritarian politics.
His remarks struck a chord as Pakistan’s rupee plummets, inflation soars, and international bailouts remain its only lifeline.
How can a country harbor terrorists and cry human rights?
The Indian diplomat further lashed out at Pakistan for its hypocrisy, noting how Islamabad “exports terrorism, harbors UN-proscribed terrorists, and then bombs its own people” while pretending to speak about human rights at international forums. The biting rebuttal highlighted Pakistan’s duality: projecting itself as a victim abroad while crushing its own citizens at home.
The irony was not lost on observers: Pakistan used Chinese JF-17 jets to drop eight Chinese-made LS-6 precision bombs on its own territory, killing the very citizens it claims to defend. At 2 am, while families slept in Matre Dara village, the air force unleashed destruction.
Rather than fighting terrorism, Islamabad’s actions added to civilian anger in a province already reeling from militant violence.
What do local protests reveal about Pakistan’s failures?
The massacre sparked outrage across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where protests had already been erupting. Just last week, thousands gathered in Mingora, Swat Valley, demanding the government restore peace. Instead of listening, Pakistan’s rulers answered with bombs.
The region, long plagued by militant hideouts and instability, has once again become the stage where Pakistan’s state brutality is laid bare.
Can Pakistan lecture India while bombing its own villages?
India’s sharp rebuke at the UNHRC underscored the absurdity of Pakistan’s posturing. A country that kills its own citizens with foreign bombs, shelters terrorists, and runs an economy on life support is in no position to preach to the world, let alone to India.
Worth noting here is that the Pakistani military and government have not spoken a word on this horrific incident. The official silence is, however, in consonance with Pakistan’s armed forces’ actions on its own citizens, as seen earlier in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or in Balochistan.
