During a meeting with the Acting Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations, Ambassador Dorothy Shea in New York, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expressed gratitude to the US Administration, in particular President Donald Trump for facilitating the ceasefire between Pakistan and India.
Baseless allegations
The former foreign minister also briefed Ambassador Dorothy Shea on the developments following the Pahalgam attack, expressing deep concern over India’s immediate attribution of blame to Pakistan without any credible investigation or verifiable evidence, Radio Pakistan reported. He emphasised that such premature and baseless allegations exacerbate tensions and undermine prospects for constructive dialogue and peace.
He underscored that Pakistan had been at the forefront in the fight against terrorism and has made the biggest sacrifices in this fight.
The delegation also briefed the member states of OIC at the United Nations on the grave developments in South Asia following India’s military aggression and its baseless accusations against Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack.
India’s belligerent aggression
Addressing the OIC Permanent Representatives, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari categorically rejected India’s attempt to link Pakistan to the Pahalgam incident without any credible investigation or evidence.
He expressed grave concern at the unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty which Pakistan considers a blatant act of weaponising water and a violation of international and treaty obligations.
He stressed that due to India’s belligerent aggression, the world had become a less safe place, with real and present implications for peace and security in South Asia. He asked the world to stop this dangerous trend.
Bilawal Bhutto underlined that OIC has emerged as the moral conscience of the world in these difficult times and thanked the OIC member states for their steadfast support for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Radio Pakistan.
Pakistan’s commitment to peace
He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace, restraint, and diplomacy, and called for the restoration of the Indus Waters Treaty, and the resumption of a comprehensive dialogue, with the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute at its core.
The OIC countries expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s transparent and timely briefing and reaffirmed their solidarity with Pakistan and the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
