PM Shehbaz credits President Trump for ceasefire breakthrough between Pakistan and India
He condemned India’s blatant aggression against innocent civilians that resulted in the martyrdom of children, women, and the elderly, while falsely labeling them as terrorists - actions he described as “utterly shameful and in violation of all international laws, norms, and morality.”
He stated that despite Pakistan’s offer for neutral investigations, India deliberately avoided this path as they “had nothing to prove,” and instead launched their offensive based on “false pretenses, bloated arrogance, and ego,” for which they received a befitting response, Alhumdulillah.
The Prime Minister added that “our martyrs have always been our pride, and the nation shall remain eternally indebted to them.”
Upon arrival, the Prime Minister was warmly received by the Chief of Army Staff and the Corps Commander of Gujranwala.
