IN WASHINGTON: Leading a delegation of diplomats, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), stated that Pakistan seeks peace and is willing to discuss with India on all matters of mutual interest.
At a news conference in Washington, D.C., the head of the PPP said, “We are ready to talk about everything with India.” He said India took a month to accept that it had lost its plane.
Bilawal stated that India is supporting terrorism in Pakistan and used the arrest of an Indian navy officer, Kulbhushan Yadav, in Balochistan as proof.
He said that India was now using water as a weapon and that cutting off water to 240 million people in Pakistan was an act of aggression against the world and its people.
Bilawal made fun of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constant threats and pointed out that the Indian media always spread lies when there are problems between India and Pakistan.
“Terrorism has nothing to do with any religion or country,” he said. “Pakistan is still the country most affected by this plague.”
India says it is the only country in South Asia that can keep people safe, and American taxes pay for its economy and military-industrial complex.
India gets money from the U.S. by pretending to be a “net security provider”, the PPP head said.
He said that the five-day war between India and Pakistan showed India’s true colours and showed that it is not a security provider in South Asia but a source of danger.
Bilawal said that India started the war based on false information and lost because it didn’t protect its planes, even though it said it would protect the region’s safety.
Bilawal tells India that they need to come up with “excuses” to not talk to Pakistan.

Following recent issues between the two countries, India’s former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari criticized India on Saturday for its “excuses” for not engaging in dialogue with Pakistan to address their problems.
Pakistan has initiated a comprehensive engagement campaign in the US to articulate its perspective on the recent escalation of tensions with India and to counter New Delhi’s growing influence in the US as a lobbyist.
The team will also travel to London and Brussels as part of its efforts to reach people worldwide. Bilawal, Hina Rabbani Khar, and Khurram Dastgir are all past foreign ministers who are part of the delegation.
Sherry Rehman, Musadik Malik, Faisal Sabzwari, Bushra Anjum Butt, Jalil Abbas Jilani, and Tehmina Janjua, all top envoys, are part of the group.
Giving a speech at a press conference in Washington, DC, after meeting with US politicians and think tanks.
The head of the PPP said that both the civilian and military leaders of Pakistan were united in their fight against terrorism and thought that building a relationship with India would be suitable for the whole region.
“India has been avoiding calls for an investigation and talks.”
“That seems like the silliest reason not to talk right now,” he added.
Bilawal offered to set up a meeting with the military or government leaders if India wanted one.
“I suppose the best thing to do now is for India and Pakistan to sit down and talk to each other about making peace.”
We should avoid communicating with Pakistan for several reasons. Sometimes it’s the civil-military reason, sometimes it’s the strategic reason, and sometimes it’s the “Oh, all Muslims are terrorists” reason.
You can’t have two neighbors who are both armed with nuclear weapons and have no way to settle their differences. It’s old now.
Bilawal stated that India did not want the US, the UN, or any other foreign entity to intervene and mediate in the matter.
He also said that India did not want to deal directly with Pakistan, which he said did not make any sense.
“Our best bet is to get India to back down from the bad decision they made and come to the table to talk.”
He said that the new peace deal between the two countries was just the beginning.
“For peace to last in South Asia, we need to have a full conversation with our neighbor in which we talk about all the things that bother us.”
When Pakistan agreed to the truce, we did so with the condition that there would be talks in a neutral place about all the points of contention going forward.
There is no doubt in our minds that this is the only way forward for both India and Pakistan.
We’re thankful for the peace, but we’re also aware that not only are Pakistan and India less safe now than they were when the conflict began, but so is the rest of the world.
The former FM said that the level of danger for “full-blown war between two nuclear-armed powers” had dropped a lot and was now at a point in history where it had never been before.
“Currently, if there’s a terrorist incident anywhere in India or Kashmir that India occupies, that means war, proof or no data.”
That’s not good for my country or the people of India.
Bilawal reiterated that Pakistan prepared to engage in any “comprehensive dialogue” with India regarding terrorism.
He made it clear that if there were to new talks with India, new agreements and promises would be required.
Because of this, it’s even more important that we stick to our old agreements so that we can trust each other that the new ones we make are worth more than the paper they’re written on.
