Islamabad:
Following the Pahalgam attack that has increased regional tensions, Pakistan’s political leadership has requested a clear and united front, urging the parties throughout the spectrum to bury the ax and the close classifications at a time when bets could not be higher.
After the abrupt decision of New Delhi to tear the key water, the trade and visas treaties, the political voices that led Pakistan dismissed the measure as an instinctive reaction and asked the government to rise above partisan divisions and create a robust and unified national response, a raising of a concentration so that the country speaks with a voice.
While condemning the loss of lives in the attack, higher politicians criticized the unilateral suspension of India of the Indo Water Treaty, qualifying as a violation of international law. They urged the government to transport the matter before the International Court of Justice.
Former Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed said that India has exhausted all his available options, adding that he rules out any military option “because they have learned a lesson from the past, from pulwama 2019”, when his bet, Pakistan, he raised with force two planes, captured his pilot and Indian PM Narendra Modi was up to the height of filling and behind.
On the action of India on the Treaty of the Water of the Indo, the veteran politician said that it was a “serious violation of international law and is equivalent to committing water aggression against Pakistan.”
Sayed pointed out that the other steps made no sense, but the treaty of the Indo’s waters was a “central national interest of Pakistan, and Indian action is politically motivated, illegal and totally unacceptable.”
In the internal dispute on water and PPP threats to demolish the federal government of PML-N, Sayed said the government must immediately convene a meeting of the Common Interest Council (CCI) to forge a consensus and refrain from making unilateral decisions.
Meanwhile, the PPP senator, Sherry Rehman, said that the vertiginous escalation of hostilities of India a few minutes from an act that we all condemn was unjustified and disproportionate.
The Vice President of the PPP said that it also leads to more questions about the reasons and narratives that are created around all this tragedy of Pahalgam.
“Suspending the Water Treaty of the Indo,” said Sherry, “after having survived the full -fledged wars, it is not legal or intelligent.”
He added that he indicates a reinvestment of oxide, in iron curtains and the dismissal of diplomacy, in a conflict that no one will win.
For a unified national response, the former senator and a prominent political voice, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, said that one can only expect that “the government will get involved with the opposition in a significant way (including Imran Khan) because the nature of the crisis demands that.”
Khokhar added that the opposition would be willing to play its national role, knowing that the government supposedly lacks a mandate. “It is obvious that the time government must have some kind of legitimacy to begin with,” he said. “However, we are all aware of the truth behind the facade.”
The Coordinator of the Awam Pakistan party, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, said that a collective, national and unified response to the unprecedented Indian aggression should be given.
He added that no one supports terrorism, but to blame Pakistan hurriedly was not an appropriate response from the neighboring country.
On the issue of water, Abbasi said that Pakistan should take India to ICJ, saying that Pakistan should respond to India in the same currency. To questions about internal internal struggles, Abbasi said the situation requires that “we must put the house in order”, saying that it also provides the opportunity to give a collective answer.
He, however, said he depended on the government how he involves the opposition and advances.
Similarly, the Federal Minister of Information and Radiodifusion, Attaullah Tarar, said that two cabinet ministers, the Vice Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, also denounced the unilateral movement of New Delhi.
Calling “inserty” and “inappropriate” actions, DAR said that a firm and coordinated response will follow.
GIV confirmed that a National Security Committee (NSC) meeting has been convened for Thursday (today) to formulate the official Pakistan response. “The statements of India are inappropriate, and the NSC will issue a comprehensive response,” he said.
Asif also said that Pakistan would give his answer after the NSC meeting on Thursday. At the last minute on Wednesday, the government spokesman, Attaullah Tarar sent a text message that would share his response on Thursday.
PTI’s central information secretary, Sheikh Waqas Akram, did not respond to the various calls and text messages in search of the response of the party.
