- The actions of India lowered the armed confrontation threshold: the bilawal.
- The PPP chief says that India began war according to the lie and could not win it.
- “Terrorism has no borders and must be condemned universally.”
Washington: President of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said on Saturday that the recent five-day conflict had revealed the facade of India as so-called “net supplier”, revealing it in place as a source of insecurity for South Asia and the larger global community.
“India’s actions had dangerously reduced the armed confrontation threshold in the region … They started a war based on a lie and could not even win it,” he told a lunch organized by the Pakistan ambassador at US Rizwan Saeed in honor of the Pakistani Pakistani delegation in Washington, DC.
The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as a high-level parliamentary delegation of nine members, are currently visiting the United States, to present Pakistan’s position on the recent military confrontation with India and to challenge New Delhi’s account at the international level.
The members of the parliamentary delegation are Hina Rabbani Khar, Sherry Rehman, Dr Musadik Malik, Khurram Dastgir Khan, Jalil Abbas Jilani, Tehmina Janjua, Bushra Anjum Butt and Syed Faisal Subzwari.
The high -level diplomatic delegation led by Bilawal met various American legislators and held a series of important meetings with members of the US Capitol Hill Congress to highlight the provocations and the aggression of New Delhi against Islamabad.
The recent conflict between nuclear countries was launched by New Delhi after an attack in India illegally occupied Jammu and the cashmere pahalgam on April 22, where armed men killed 26 civilians. India has described this an act of terrorism orchestrated by Pakistan, a complaint rejected by the leaders of Islamabad.
Addressing lunch participants, Bilawal said that India had long replied in the West, especially in the United States, such as stabilizing power, justifying foreign and defense aid agreements.
“The dollars of American taxpayers subsidize the India industrial military complex under the illusion that it ensures regional stability. But these five days of conflict have proven the opposite,” he said, stressing that a peaceful and stable relationship between India and Pakistan is the only viable path to security in South Asia.
Citing disinformation as a coherent tool of the Indian Statecraft, he criticized the Indian media for the promotion of false news during the conflict.
“Three parts make claims in this situation-Pakistan, the United States and India. Two of them say one thing, and the third is to say something else. It is a question of understanding who tells the truth,” he noted, stressing that India has not yet shared credible information on the incident in IIOJK-including that the alleged terrorists have been, or what damage they suffered during the influence.
The PPP chief said that even now, India refuses to admit the number of planes it has lost and continues to rely on disinformation – a tactic not only used during the conflict but also during international commitments by his delegations.
Referring to a tweet by the American senator Marco Rubio, Bilawal said that he indicated three key developments: the ceasefire, the start of future talks in a neutral location and discussions covering all the friction. “This shows that the international community does not see the story of India as credible,” he added.
Answering a question, he noted that Pakistan has never needed to invoke its nuclear capacities to assert domination. “We did not count on our nuclear arsenal to dissuade the assault. Our conventional response was sufficient,” he said.
He also addressed the aggressive rhetoric of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing his inflammatory remarks as “eat bread or eat my ball”, which, according to Bilawal, made it impossible to revise Pakistan in an atmosphere of hostility.
On the question of extremism and terrorism, Bilawal called for a unified and depoliticized approach. “I do not associate terrorism with any religion or culture. It has no borders and must be condemned universally,” he said, urging all countries to reject terrorism in all its forms-whether religious, nationalist or separatist.
He also criticized the rise of Hindutva extremism in India, saying that it was deeply rooted in society and state structures. “Extremism in India is now a new reality … The word” terrorism “is used as a wolf whistle to demonize minorities – especially Muslims in India, Iiojk and the neighboring region.”
“Gujarat riots on attack by Samjhauta Express, officials have never been punished-in fact, they have often been forgiven,” he said, pointing the RSS, the ideological parent of the BJP in power of India, as the main engine of this extremist agenda.
He called to the end to blame the games and urged the two countries to work together to fight terrorism and establish peace. “Instead of pointing and feeding the cycle of hostility, we must seek dialogue and stability. This is the only way to follow,” he concluded.
