Pak’s ‘Fitna al-Hindustan’ campaign meant to hide internal failures: Gaurav

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 9: BJP spokesperson and convenor, International Affairs, Gaurav Gupta today said Islamabad’s so-called “Fitna al-Hindustan” campaign has been exposed at the United Nations as an attempt to conceal its own failures through propaganda.
In a statement, Gupta said Pakistan has once again chosen to manufacture false narratives instead of addressing the consequences of its own policies. He alleged that the Pakistani establishment’s decision to label terrorist groups operating within its territory as “Fitna al-Hindustan” was aimed at misleading the international community and diverting attention from the deteriorating law and order situation in the country.
Describing Pakistan as a long-standing hub of extremist organizations, Gupta said a country accused of exporting terrorism for decades cannot claim moral authority on issues of peace and security. He said India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, has effectively countered Pakistan’s allegations and exposed what he termed an “organized factory of hate” before the global community.
Gupta said Pakistan frequently attempts to portray itself as a victim on international forums while concealing its role in fostering extremism and radicalization. He asserted that the international community has increasingly recognized the gap between Pakistan’s claims and realities on the ground.
The BJP leader further said Pakistan’s economic crisis, poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities for youth have created conditions that extremist groups continue to exploit for recruitment. He argued that instead of prioritizing education, employment and social development, Pakistan’s establishment has promoted hostility, anti-India propaganda and radical ideologies.
Calling on Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure and address its internal challenges, Gupta said blaming India has become a convenient strategy to avoid confronting domestic failures. He maintained that Pakistan’s biggest challenge is not India but poverty, economic distress, radicalization and terrorism within its own borders.
Gupta urged the international community to hold Pakistan accountable for propaganda and alleged support to extremist elements, stating that such actions continue to threaten regional peace and stability.
