Is a lifeline for millions, \u00a0Threatening \u00a0food security and livihoods for political point \u2013 scoring is not just short=singed \u2013it is inhumane,\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>former Foreign Minister Bilawal, reiterated that Pakistan has made it clear to the world, including India, that it has no involvement in the recent Pahalgam incident. He added that India was shifting the blame for its own incompetence onto Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pakistan does not bow down,&#8221; Bilawal remarked. &#8220;Our nation was founded through struggle, and the Pakistani people\u2019s struggle will continue. A bloodbath is being unleashed in occupied Kashmir, where India\u2019s state-sponsored terrorism is at its peak. India must stop its atrocities against Kashmiris.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bilawal further asserted that India\u2019s allegations against Pakistan in connection with the Pahalgam incident, along with threats, are unfounded. &#8220;I want to make it clear to the world that Pakistan had no involvement in the Pahalgam incident. Pakistan is the most affected by terrorism. We have condemned all forms of terrorism, and we ourselves are victims of it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The PPP Chairman further said that Pakistan has shown the world that India is a &#8220;terrorist nation,&#8221; presenting evidence of Indian-backed terrorism across countries such as Sri Lanka and Canada. He accused the Indian government of acting irresponsibly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During his address, Bilawal also affirmed that Pakistan\u2019s armed forces are on high alert to defend the country, stating, &#8220;India must remember that the Pakistani nation will never bow to anyone. It must choose between dialogue or destruction.&#8221; He warned India that any aggression would be met with a strong response from Pakistan&#8217;s military, with the full support of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bilawal Bhutto concluded by reaffirming the unity of the Pakistani peoples, \u2018Whether Sindhi, Punjabi, Pushtun, Baloch or Kashmiri, we are all Pakistanis. We will respond as one, with a unified heart, mind and fist.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a scathing indictment of Indian policy in Kashmir, the PPP chairman accused New Delhi of hypocrisy: \u201cHow can a state that commits daily violations in the occupied valley claim to fight terrorism? When your hands are stained with the tears of Kashmiri mothers, the cries of orphaned children, and the silence of lifeless men, moral superiority cannot be claimed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2263\" data-end=\"2425\">He said Pakistan had long borne the brunt of externally funded ideological terrorism, often standing alone with its wounds ignored by the international community.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2427\" data-end=\"2567\">Mr Bhutto-Zardari asserted that tanks and bullets would not defeat terrorism; only justice, hope, and political solutions could root it out.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2569\" data-end=\"2835\">\u201cIf India wants peace in Kashmir, it must stop viewing dissent as a threat. Let the people speak. Give them the vote, not vengeance. Stabilise, don\u2019t demolish. Empower, don\u2019t suppress,\u201d he said, adding that Kashmir remains an \u201cunhealed wound\u201d and a \u201cbroken promise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2837\" data-end=\"3050\">Referring to Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was arrested in Balochistan in 2016, Mr Bhutto-Zardari said India\u2019s attempt to portray itself as the region\u2019s victim was a \u201cnarrative divorced from ground realities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3052\" data-end=\"3302\">\u201cIndia has not only sponsored proxies, but its own armed forces have been directly involved in terrorist acts not just in Pakistan, but in countries like Sri Lanka and Canada,\u201d he claimed, urging New Delhi to abandon its foreign policy of aggression.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3304\" data-end=\"3468\">He also questioned India&#8217;s unwillingness to accept Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s offer of an independent and transparent investigation into the Pahalgam incident.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3470\" data-end=\"3646\">\u201cWhy would the \u2018real victim\u2019 of terrorism shy away from accountability?\u201d Mr Bhutto-Zardari asked. \u201cPerhaps because the trail of terror leads not to Islamabad but to New Delhi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The PPP chairman warned that unless both countries engage sincerely to root out terrorism from the region, future generation would also be condemned to inherit the same instability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The PPP chairman warned that unless both countries engage sincerely to root out terrorism from the region, future generations would also be condemned to inherit the same instability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3832\" data-end=\"3986\">He concluded by reiterating that suspending the Indus Water Treaty was not merely an act against Pakistan but a transgression against humanity and nature.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018it is punishment \u2013 it is madness,\u2019 he said .\u2019 To weaponries water is to gamble with the survival of millions.
