Bilawal Bhutto Urges Global Community to Resolve Kashmir Issue, Condemns Use of Water as Weapon

New York – Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, addressing a press conference alongside a parliamentary delegation, urged the international community to play its role in resolving the Kashmir dispute and warned against the use of water as a weapon.

Speaking at the United Nations, Bilawal presented Pakistan’s stance on recent tensions with India, stating that Indian aggression had resulted in the loss of innocent Pakistani lives. He said, “India targeted innocent civilians in Pakistan through unjustified aggression. In response, Pakistan took defensive measures and shot down six Indian aircraft that had carried out bombings.”

Bilawal emphasized that Pakistan has always condemned terrorism and has made enormous sacrifices in the global fight against it. “We have paid a heavy price in the war against terrorism,” he said. He added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had offered India cooperation in investigating the Pulwama incident, but India rejected Pakistan’s transparent offer and instead opted for aggression.

Calling dialogue the only viable path to peace, Bilawal said, “Pakistan is the most affected by terrorism. We welcome efforts made by the U.S. President and Secretary of State in facilitating a ceasefire. Terrorism should never be used as a political weapon.”

He strongly condemned India’s actions and stressed that no civilized nation should support the restriction of water flow to another country. “We will not allow water to be used as a weapon,” Bilawal declared.

He appealed to the international community to take immediate notice of Indian aggression. “If another such incident occurs, there may not be time left to correct the situation. The global community must act before things spiral out of control,” he warned.

In an earlier interview with foreign media, Bilawal questioned, “Which side lied to its people during and after the conflict? Pakistan has clearly downed six Indian jets, and the reality is that India lost the battle.”

Reiterating Pakistan’s willingness for dialogue, he said, “We are ready to talk, but India is not. Their refusal makes it clear that the current conditions are not favorable.” He urged the global community to intervene for lasting peace in the region and to support a resolution to the Kashmir conflict.
