India trying to sabotage President Trump’s peace efforts: Bilawal

Former foreign minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Pakistan is looking to US President Donald Trump for Kashmir resolution while Indian government is trying to sabotage the American president’s peace efforts, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Bilawal reiterated that Pakistan believes in dialogue as the only path to resolving core issues, including the Kashmir dispute. He said India is using terrorists as a diplomatic tool.

Speaking at a press briefing at the Pakistan High Commission in London, accompanied by members of a parliamentary delegation on Wednesday, Bilawal emphasised that both Pakistani and Indian people desire peace and that ongoing hostilities are counterproductive to regional stability.

Bilawal strongly warned India against any move to disrupt the Indus Waters Treaty, stating, “Even threatening to cut off water supply amounts to a clear declaration of war.”

The PPP chairman said India cannot suspend or annul the treaty, which is internationally recognised and legally binding.

Commenting on the country's military leadership, Bilawal said that General Asim Munir was elevated to the rank of Field Marshal not only for winning battles but also for aligning with the aspirations of the people.

Highlighting past military engagements, he remarked, “Although India may have had numerical strength, Pakistani forces gave a powerful and measured response.”

Bilawal claimed that India often says one thing but does another, alleging that New Delhi continues to use terrorist organisations to sabotage peace in the region.

Bilawal said threatening Pakistan is a violation of the UN Charter, even though Pakistan is talking about peace and India is talking about war. 

Earlier, the PPP chairman arrived at the Pakistan High Commission in London, where he recorded his remarks in the guestbook, accompanied by senior members of Pakistan’s high-level diplomatic delegation.

It is worth mentioning that the Pakistani diplomatic delegation, led by Bilawal, recently concluded a visit to the United States and has now reached the United Kingdom to highlight the Indian aggression.

During their US tour, the delegation actively participated in United Nations sessions and engaged in high-level meetings with global leaders and members of the US Congress. Discussions primarily focused on the Kashmir dispute and the urgent need for regional peace and stability.
