India fails both military and diplomatically against Pakistan: Bilawal

The president of the Popular Party of Pakistan (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said that after suffering a humiliating defeat on the battlefield, India also failed in his diplomatic campaign against Pakistan abroad, while Islamabad’s narrative prevailed on the international stage.

Bilawal directed a delegation to the United States and Europe, appointed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, to present Islamabad’s perspective about the recent conflict with India.

The visit was aimed at ensuring international support, especially the European Union, to help prevent greater escalation between the two neighbors with nuclear weapons.

Speaking after returning from the successful tour in Karachi after a warm welcome on Friday, Bilawal emphasized the efforts of the delegation in the transmission of Pakistan’s message about La Paz, Cashmiro, the Treaty of the Water of the Indo and the Contribution during the visits to New York, Washington DC, London and Brussels.

He pointed out that during the conflict with India, although the first was “seven times larger”, the armed forces of Pakistan achieved a “humiliating defeat” for his adversary, a feat that said he filled the country with pride.

The president of PPP said that Islamabad had exceeded the efforts of India to undermine it at the diplomatic level, and added that the country won the diplomatic battle through tireless efforts.

“India tried to succeed where he failed on the battlefield, defeating Pakistan on narrative and diplomatic fronts, but I want to tell you that even on that forehead, Pakistan came out victorious and India failed.”

He affirmed that Pakistan was on the side of the truth, while India trusted in falsehood, a contrast that, he said, was evident in international media, where Pakistan’s narrative won a traction and India did not resonate.

Remembering the skirmish of the last month with the neighboring country, he said that the armed forces of Pakistan had demolished six Indian planes, a denial initially issued by India, but then admitted a month later.

Highlighting that Cakemira has continued to be Pakistan’s most important issue since the partition, he emphasized that Pakistan raised his voice to assume everywhere.

“Before the war, the position of India was that Kashmiro was a bilateral matter. Now they must recognize that it is no longer an internal problem but international.”

He also referred to the comments of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, saying that the United States was prepared to facilitate conversations between Pakistan and India to resolve the Kashmir’s dispute, a “historical success,” he said.

Returning to Pakistan’s water security, he warned that the threat of the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to restrict the flow of the Indo River, described as an unprecedented movement, would not be seen without response.

“When it comes to Indo, the PPP will lead the load, either nationally or internationally,” he said.

He issued a severe warning to India: “You have two options: to comply with international law and the treaty of the Indo’s waters, which assigns three rivers to Pakistan and three to India, or face another war, and the six rivers will be ours.”

Bilawal also questioned why domestic political actors, whom he blamed for inciting hatred and division, were silent in front of the threat of India’s water, insisting that these politicians had been financed by India and accused them of raising sectarian slogans in Baluchistan and Sindh.

“The people of Sindh will never forgive these political orphans for their silence today,” he added, referring to their apparent inaction about river threats and water security concerns.
