Pakistan-India Diplomatic Standoff Escalates Amid Accusations of Aggression Between Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Narendra Modi
Published on 6.6.25
The ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan have brought international relations between the two nations to a boiling point, with both sides trading accusations of aggression. Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has downplayed the chances of a full-scale conflict.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stance on terrorism, stating that New Delhi doesn't need evidence to launch a war against Pakistan. He emphasized the importance of a permanent joint investigative forum between India and Pakistan to probe terror incidents, citing the proposed investigation into the Pahalgam attack as an example of India's refusal to cooperate.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also criticized India for its stance on terrorism, stating that Islamabad seeks cooperation from New Delhi in addressing this issue. Bilawal warned of grave risks of escalation in South Asia and emphasized the need for a composite dialogue with India to address the Kashmir dispute.
Bilawal stressed the importance of adhering to existing treaties and agreements, including the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), which governs the sharing of water resources between the two countries. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ruled out India's ability to obstruct water flow at its discretion, highlighting the need for a comprehensive dialogue between the two countries.
Bilawal emphasized that such conflicts can be prevented by engaging in open and honest communication, rather than resorting to aggression.
