The former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, again extended an olive branch to India, asking the neighboring country to forge an association that seeks peace and jointly combat terrorism.
“Pakistan is ready to forge a historical and phenomenal association with India to jointly combat terror,” he said to go to an international conference on ‘Pakistan fighting the war for the world against terrorism’ at the Islamabad Policies Research Institute.
“Not as adversaries who play a zero sum game, but as neighbors who share a moral and civilizational obligation to save one billion souls from the plague of extremism.
“All that requires is the leadership of India is to resign from the course of high horses in the abyss and follow peace with Pakistan.”
Bilawal also asked the Indian leadership to solve all pending disputes, including the back and water crisis.
“Let’s solve Kashmir according to people’s aspirations. Let’s finish the Water weapon. And instead builds peace as powerful as the Himalayas.
“Let’s go back to our shared traditions that are not based on hate, but to the ancient ground of the Indo Valley civilization. It is not a weakness to extend a hand. It is wisdom.”
The president of the PPP has been repeatedly asking India and Pakistan to participate in a dialogue to establish peace.
Speaking today, the former Foreign Minister said that terrorism is a global crisis that needs to be defeated by a sustainable future. He also highlighted the threat of “digital propaganda” in the against extremism.
“Pakistan is not drifting through the storm of terrorism. We are directing the ship,” he said, added that the country has left a tremendous human and economical loss in this war against terror.
“We are still fighting because the alternative is surrender. And surrender is not a word in the Pakistan dictionary,” he exclaimed.
He also highlighted the increase in militant violence during the past year, saying that “2024 was the most fatal year in a decade in which 685 members of the service adopted martyrdom in 444 separate attacks.”
Bilawal also pointed out the efforts made by the armed forces and security personnel to combat terrorism.
“In the last two decades, the Pakistan armed forces backed by the citizens of Iron Willed have broken the backs of Al Qaeda’s networks, dismantled the so -called caliphates like Daesh, and they have led the TTP [Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan] From the strength to the hills of Fox “.
“The Zarb-E-Azab operation drained the northern swamp, Raddul Fassad uprooted sleeping cells in our cities and elsewhere. Today operations in Baluchistan reduce the connection between separately financed separatism and terror.”
The former Foreign Minister said that Pakistan supported the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, but instead faced an increase in cross -border terrorist attacks.
“The Taliban regime was received as an inevitable fact. They promised worldwide stability, delivered a 40 percent increase in militant attacks on Pakistani soil and a sanctuary for the TTP, Bla, Etim and others.
“We save Kabul. Sovereignty confers the duty. Stop the exodus of the combatants, drown the arms trafficking and honor the price of the blood of the Doha agreement or is judged by the company that keeps.”
Bilawal said the world should learn lessons from the experience and achievements of Pakistan, since the country requires development as an “antidote” against the insurgency.
“We need an equitable charge exchange. We ask for structured investments against terrorism and extremism against violent, modern technology and weapons,” he said. “No Counteriet has achieved victory without the first hearts and winning minds.”
He also delivered a message to the “hate merchant” within the country, saying that “there is no constitutional right to arm religion.”
“If the world demands that we prohibit militias, should also demand everything that people live free from collective punishments.
“From the Kashmir Valley to the Olive orchards of Palestine, the world must offer a fair peace.”
He said the world has changed dramatically since India and Pakistan sat on the other side of the table in 2012.
“We have fought and won the campaign contrary to the most expensive terrorism in modern history. After our elimination of the Fatf Gray list, Pakistan is among the most serious terrorism states.
“It is time for India to recognize this transformation, not as a concession but as an opportunity. Terrorism is a collective threat. Without border fence, without nationalist rhetoric, no regional hegemony can protect a nation from a fire that can have help to help on the other side.”
He stressed that terrorists have no nationality, religion, caste or creed, and this threat does not respect law. He asked for collective global efforts to eliminate terrorism.
