Avoiding conversations will hurt India’s own interests: bilawal

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) President Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called on India to return to the negotiating table, which warned that continuing to avoid dialogue would only hurt regional peace and India’s own interests.

“All excellent problems between Pakistan and India can only be solved through extensive dialogue,” he said. “If India does not come to the table, it will not be in their advantage.”

In a conversation with the German TV company DW Urdu during a visit to Brussels on Sunday, the former Foreign Minister warned that any attempt from India to block Pakistan’s water supply would be considered an existential threat, leaving Pakistan without any opportunity than war.

Bilawal, who leads a parliamentary delegation to the west, also called for the international community a day earlier to bring India to the table for conversations and play his role in ensuring lasting peace in South Asia – including a decision on the long -time Kashmir, water issues and terrorism – through a composite dialogue that he said that India was unwilling to pursue.

“Such actions pose an existential threat to Pakistan, water is our lifeline, and we will never give up our rightful share in any circumstances,” he said.

He called India’s threats of cutting off the water as a “clear violation of the United Nations Charter” and a “violation of the Indus Waters Treaty” and calls it Pakistan’s “red line.” “If India bulls to water aggression, Pakistan will be no choice than war,” he said.

The PPP chairman emphasized that although Pakistan is not seeking war, it will not compromise on its national security or wandering rights.

“Despite India’s commitment to supporting terrorist activities in Pakistan, we have never advocated war in response to terrorism,” he added.

Bilawal reiterated that although Pakistan continues to advocate for peace, questions such as water safety are non-negotiations.

Following the ceasefire with India, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Bilawal appointed a high -level delegation that is tasked with presenting ‘Pakistan’s case for peace’ on recent Indian aggression to the international community.

The committee aims to collaborate with global leaders and institutions to raise awareness of India’s actions and Pakistan’s concerns about the Indus Waters Treaty. The government has also planned to send additional delegations to other countries as part of a wider diplomatic search.
