The Federal Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, faces increasing criticisms both inside and outside the Indian Parliament, stating that “Modi’s days are counted” and the final verdict will rest with the Indian public.
Speaking to journalists, Asif described Pakistan’s position before any possible dialogue with India, saying that conversations would focus on three central themes: terrorism, puppy and water disputes.
He confirmed that terrorism would be on the agenda, along with the old background conflict and concerns about the management of India of the Indo Water Treaty.
Asif reiterated Pakistan’s position on contractorism, noting that the country has been a victim of terrorism for 25 years and remains unfairly blamed. “The world must now decide for itself. Pakistan has suffered more in World War against terror,” he said, added that Pakistan’s efforts and sacrifices should be recognized.
The minister recalled that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had already offered to investigate recent terrorist incidents and said that Pakistan remains open to dialogue, provided that his role in the fight against terrorism is recognized.
In Kashmir, Asif emphasized that the dispute remains unsolved and must be addressed in any conversation. With regard to water problems, he criticized attempts to politicize the matter and warned that the Treaty of the Indo Aguas should not be manipulated.
He accused India of supporting terrorism for years and called an “international terrorist actor”, which refers to evidence allegedly found in Canada and the United States. “These tests must be presented in any future conversation,” he said.
When commenting on the Indian political climate again, Asif declared that Modi has lost control and has not been able to handle the growing dissent. “He tried to contain the situation in his recent speech, but things have gone beyond their reach,” Asif said.
The minister also claimed that India has sponsored terrorism for years, with evidence of the emergence of Indian participation in both Canada and the United States.
“These facts must be taken to the table in any negotiation,” he said.
The minister concluded by pointing out that Modi’s recent speech was an attempt to contain political damage, but said that the situation has already become spiral before repair.
The high the fire of India-Pakistan follows the climb, but the fragile calm persists
A high and immediate fire between India and Pakistan was announced on May 10 after days of intense military exchanges that took both neighbors with nuclear weapons to the edge of the war.
The announcement was made for the first time by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and then confirmed by Pakistan Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, the Vice Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the India, S. Jaishankar, and the Secretary of State of the United States Marco Rubio.
Tensions exploded after a April 22 attack in Pahalgam, India illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk), which left 26 dead civilians.
India blamed the elements based in Pakistan without presenting any evidence, Islamabad rejected the accusations. In response, India closed the border with Wagah, revoked the visas and suspended the Treaty of Indo’s waters, moves Pakistan called a “act of war.”
The conflict intensified with the missile attracks and the drone raids of India, since it developed its operation Sindoor.
Pakistan’s army launched Operation Bunyan-Un-Marshals in retaliation, and announced that it had demolished five Indian airplanes, including raffles, and intercepted 77 Harop drones made by Israeli.
After the diplomatic intervention directed by Washington, both parties agreed to stop military activity in land, air and sea. However, hours after the truce, fresh skirmishes were reported along both sides of the control line.
Explosions were heard in Srinagar and officials cited fire exchanges on both sides, which generated concerns about the durability of the high fire.
The Foreign Ministry of Pakistan reiterated its commitment to the high fire while accusing India of violations.
DG ISPR LT Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry emphasized that Pakistan had not requested the truce, stating that India initiated the request to stop the fire after the retaliation strikes of Pakistan. He described the war between two nuclear powers as “inconceivable” and “an absurd.”
Chaudhry confirmed that no Indian pilot was in Pakistani custody, dismissing viral claims such as misinformation.
He called Operation Bunyan-Un-Marsosos a unified national response to Indian aggression, noting that Pakistan had fulfilled his commitments to respond decisively and proportionally.
The cities of all Pakistan observed Yom-E-Tashakkur (day of thanks) on Sunday to mark what was acclaimed nationally as a successful defense of national sovereignty.
