Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman and former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, while addressing the National Assembly, strongly rejected India’s narrative accusing Pakistan of terrorism, saying “Pakistan is not involved in terrorism — it is a victim of it.”
In a powerful speech, Bilawal asserted that Occupied Kashmir is not Indian territory and dismissed India’s allegations linking Pakistan to terrorism, particularly in relation to the recent Pahalgam incident, reported 24NewsHD TV Channel on Tuesday.
“Pakistan had no involvement in the Pahalgam event,” he stated, adding that Pakistan condemned all forms of terrorism and had exposed India's claims about the Pahalgam attack as part of a false flag operation.
He warned that India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty was not just an act against Pakistan but a crime against humanity, as it directly affects millions dependent on river waters.
The PPP chairman further emphasised that Pakistan’s armed forces are vigilant and prepared to respond to any threats.
Bilawal Bhutto urged India to abandon terrorism as a tool of its foreign policy. He said India is carrying out terrorism in illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The PPP chairman said India perpetrates terrorism through proxies not only on our soil, but its hands are also stained with blood from Sri Lanka to Canada and beyond.
He said said Pakistan has no hand in Pahalgam incident as we do not export terrorism, but we are the victims of terrorism.
Bilawal categorically stated that Kashmir is not India's territory. He demanded that the people of Kashmir should be given the right to self-determination.
Expressing regret over India's belligerent posture, Bilawal said Pakistan's restraint should not be taken as its weakness. He said our armed forces are vigilant, resolute and prepared. “Our skies are guarded, our borders are sealed by our valour and our nation stands united to respond to any aggression,” he added.
Bilawal said the people of Pakistan are not made to kneel and that they have the resolve to fight as they love freedom.
The PPP chief also condemned holding of Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance by India describing it as a crime against humanity.
