Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday held a telephone conversation with the United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres and discussed recent developments in South Asia.
“During the telephone call, the prime minister affirmed that Pakistan condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, while highlighting the significant sacrifices rendered by the country in the global war against terror,” a state-run news agency reported.
PM Shehbaz rejected Indian accusations against Pakistan and reaffirmed his demand for an open and impartial probe into the Pahalgam attack.
PM Shehbaz voiced grave worries about India’s state-sponsored terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and its attempts to undermine the Kashmiri liberation movement under the pretext of “terrorism.”
Noting that water is the lifeline for 240 million people, he specifically called attention to India’s indefensible weaponization of the Indus Basin waters.
