If India wants more action against terrorists, it must hold talks with Pakistan: Bilawal
[GEO.TV] Pakistain People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that if India truly wants more action against terrorists, it must engage in dialogue with Pakistain to resolve bilateral issues.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Bilawal — who led Pakistain's diplomatic mission to Western nations to counter New Delhi's narrative post the May war — said India is attempting to establish a ''new normal'' in South Asia — a stance he termed as neither in Pakistain's nor India's interest.

He stressed that the future of 1.7 billion people cannot be handed over to non-state actors, criticising India for not sharing evidence of terrorist attacks with its own people, Pakistain, or the international community. ''India has faced fewer terrorism incidents compared to Pakistain,'' he noted.

Bilawal reaffirmed Pakistain's historical stance that Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
is an integral part of Pakistain, a position consistent since the time of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

He further stated that Moslems in India face systemic discrimination. ''Any Moslem who speaks up for their rights is branded a terrorist,'' he said, adding that the same approach is used against Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir.

Bilawal emphasised that Pakistain has actively fought terrorism. ''If India wants further action against terrorists, it should talk to Pakistain to find a solution,'' he reiterated. He also mentioned Pakistain's concerns about India's involvement in acts of terrorism targeting Pakistain.

Addressing a longstanding narrative, Bilawal clarified that while Pakistain historically supported certain groups during the 1980s concerning Afghanistan, it has never backed such groups in the context of Kashmir. ''Pakistain supports the Kashmiris' right to self-determination under UN resolutions, which is not terrorism,'' he concluded.

His comments came in the wake of recent tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours after India accused Pakistain of involvement in the killing of 26 civilians in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) earlier this year — an allegation Islamabad has strongly denied
No, no! Certainly not!
