Fact-check at UN leaves Bilawal Bhutto red-faced over 'demonising Muslims in India' claim
The reference was to Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor briefings led by Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, a Muslim officer who gained national recognition alongside Wing Commander Vyomika Singh.
Bhutto, visibly unsettled, offered no defence and merely conceded, “As far as the operations are concerned, you’re absolutely right.”
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the Pahalgam attack, striking nine terror infrastructure targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The operation triggered four days of fierce cross-border clashes, which ended on May 10 after both sides reportedly agreed to cease hostilities. India has maintained that the intensity of its counter-offensive forced Pakistan to seek an end to the fighting.
The Pakistani delegation’s visit comes amid New Delhi’s parallel diplomatic outreach, where an all-party Indian parliamentary team — including opposition leaders like Shashi Tharoor and Asaduddin Owaisi — is touring various countries to present India’s position post-Pahalgam.
