Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan was open to participating in a “neutral, transparent and credible” investigation of the Pahagam attack, in the midst of rising tensions with India.
By tackling a passing parade at Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, Prime Minister Shehbaz India’s “eternal guilt game” and called for cessation of accusations without credible investigations.
“The recent tragedy in Pahaldam is another example of this pattern,” he said. “Continued with its role as a responsible country, Pakistan is open to any neutral, transparent and credible investigation.”
He criticized India for smoothing “baseless accusations” against Pakistan without verifiable evidence and confirmed Pakistan’s obligation to support Kashmiris’ right to self -determination and call Kashmir “Jugular Vein” in Pakistan.
Shehbaz also highlighted Pakistan’s victims in the global fight against terrorism and noticed over 90,000 losses and $ 600 billion in economic losses.
“In Also Need to Undercore the Importance of Kashmir, as the Founder of the Nation Quaid-I-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah Rightly Said, Kashmir is the Jugular Vein of Pakistan. Unfortunately, This Globally Recognized Dispute Remains Unresolved Despite Multiple Uns Untple UN Resolutions. Easy Theres Be No DOBT, Pakistan Shall Continue to Support the Right of Self-Determination of the Kashmiri People Till They Achieve Their Rights through their great fight and victims.
His remarks follow Defense Minister Khawaja Asif’s call for an international probe to the Pahalgam attack, as reported by New York Times. In an interview, Asif said Pakistan was “ready to cooperate” with any study by international inspectors.
Asif rejected India’s claims connecting Pakistan to the attack and describing the militant group of Lashkar-E-Taiba as “closed” without operational setup in Pakistan. He warned that India’s actions were aimed at punishing Pakistan “without evidence.”
The Minister of Defense proposed the possibility that the attack was a “false flag” operation orchestrated by India to escalate tension and undermine the Indus Waters Treaty, which New Delhi has now unilaterally suspended.
In a separate interview with Sky NewsAsif warned that any full scale attack from India would provoke an “all-out war” that warned the international community of the serious risks involved.
Meanwhile, the United Nations have called on both India and Pakistan to exercise “maximum restraint” after the escalation.
