United Nations: the former Foreign Minister of Pakistan and President of the Pakistani peoples’ party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, urged the United Nations to play an active role in the relaxation of tensions between Pakistan and India and restore the Waters of the Indus Waters, which, he said, was arbitrarily suspended by New Delhi.
The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as a high-level parliamentary delegation of nine members, are currently in New York, in the United States, during a two-day visit to Pakistan’s position on the recent military confrontation with India and to challenge New Delhi’s story at the international level.
The members of the parliamentary delegation include Hina Rabbani Khar, Sherry Rehman, Dr Musadik Malik, Khurram Dastgir Khan, Jalil Abbas Jilani, Tehmina Janjua, Bushra Anjum Butt and Syed Faisal Subzwari.
During a high -level meeting with the UN secretary general António Guterres at the UN headquarters in New York, a 36 -year -old politician called for urgent international efforts to prevent a new escalation in South Asia. He said recent military provocations in India and base-founded accusations following the Pahalgam attack in Jammu-et-Cachemire (IIOJK), the region of the region occupied.
Bilawal, who heads the parliamentary delegation of Pakistan, delivered a letter from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Guterres. The Prime Minister’s letter expressed the concerns of Pakistan concerning the recent actions of India, in particular cross -border attacks and damage to civil infrastructure. He also criticized India’s decision to suspend the Industry Water Treaty, appealing to a form of “water war” imposed in Pakistan.
He urged the Secretary General to use his good offices to help defuse tensions, restore the normal functioning of the Industry Water Treaty and promote a complete dialogue between Pakistan and India, in particular on the dispute of Jammu and Kashmir, which remains at the heart of sustainable peace insurance in South Asia.
He pointed out that the resolution of the cashmere dispute was an unfinished United Nations program.
“The inhabitants of South Asia deserve peace, not war,” he said, warning that India was trying to create a dangerous “new standard” of impunity and aggression.
The former Minister of Foreign Affairs said that India had used the strength and unilateral actions that violate international law and the United Nations Charter. “India’s conduct threatens fragile peace in the region,” he said, while reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to diplomacy and responsible behavior.
Bilawal highlighted the humanitarian consequences of India’s decision to stop the implementation of the Industry Water Treaty, which he said put millions of lives in danger. “It’s not just about water,” he said. “This is survival.”
Bilawal has also raised serious concerns concerning India to establish a dangerous precedent by water arms, calling it a serious violation of international commitments and a threat to regional stability. He described the treaty as “a rescue buoy for 240 million Pakistanis”.
“The armament of water cannot be tolerated,” he told the Secretary-General, urging the United Nations to ensure restoration and complete implementation of the treaty.
Secretary -General Guterres praised Pakistan’s appeal to peace and reiterated the UN’s commitment to dialogue and the peaceful resolution of disputes. He said the United Nations remained fully engaged in support for de -escalation in Southern Asia.
Speaking to New York journalists after the meeting, Bilawal launched a scathing attack on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Modi has become the butcher of Gujarat and Kashmir,” he said. “He now also wants to trample the civilization of the Sindh.”
He also said that Pakistan had remained open to dialogue, but said India avoided talks. “Pakistan is ready to speak, but India continues to run away,” he told journalists.
Addressing a press conference at the headquarters of the United Nations earlier, the PPP chief urged the international community to push India to a complete dialogue with Pakistan.
“The ceasefire is a first welcome step, but this is only a first step. I must emphasize that the world community today is less safe, this cease-fire … It is simply because the threshold for full-fledged military conflicts between two nuclear arms states has fallen, it is not increased.”
He said India used Pahalgam’s attack as a pretext to launch the attack inside Pakistan.
Following this terrorist attack in IIOJK on April 22, Prime Minister Shehbaz offered India publicly that Pakistan was ready to be part of any international impartial investigation into this attack.
“We did it because we were confident, our hands were clean and we had nothing to do with this terrorist attack.
“The Indian government has refused Pakistan’s offer and has rather chosen to carry out its illegal strikes. Pakistan has never acted in self-defense, we have never initiated violence against India.
