    Like before, India strongly objected to the comments made by Pakistan's foreign minister. "These remarks are unprecedented, even for Pakistan," the Indian Foreign Ministry remarked. It brought up the events of 1971 in its opposition. "The Foreign Minister of Pakistan has evidently forgotten this day in 1971, which was a direct outcome of the carnage committed by Pakistani rulers against ethnic Bengalis and Hindus. Unfortunately, Pakistan's treatment of its minorities does not appear to have altered much. "It clearly lacks credibility to cast aspersions on India," the statement said.
