Beijing: Terming as “arrogant” external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj’s scornful attack on Islamabad at the United Nations (UN) for being the terror factory, a state- run Chinese daily on Monday in a grudging admission said “there is indeed terrorism in Pakistan”.
“India and Pakistan became free within hours of each other. Why is it that today India is a recognised IT superpower in the world, and Pakistan is recognised only as the pre-eminent export factory for terror?”, Swaraj said in her speech at the UN General Assembly.
“We established scientific and technical institutions which are the pride of the world. But what has Pakistan offered to the world and indeed to its own people apart from terrorism? We produced scholars, doctors, engineers. What have you produced? You have produced terrorists”, she said referring to terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish- e-Muhammad.
“There is indeed terrorism in Pakistan. But is supporting terror the country’s national policy? What can Pakistan gain from exporting terrorism? Money or honour,” said an editorial in the state-run daily Global Times.
“With smooth development of its economy and foreign relations in recent years, an arrogant India has looked down on Pakistan and assumed a haughty air with China,” said the editorial titled ‘India’s bigotry no match for its ambition’.
It takes for settled that it should be feared by neighbours and wooed by the US and Europe. If smart enough, India should befriend China and respect Pakistan, preventing disputes from spilling over, it said.
“She was also deemed by Indian media as having taken a veiled dig at China for blocking international efforts to blacklist Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar,” the report said apparently referring to Beijing’s blocking of India’s efforts to declare Azhar as a terrorist by the UN.
The editorial also made references to the 73-day standoff between India and China at Doklam in the Sikkim section which broken on 28 August.
