A nine-member parliamentary delegation led by former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will embark on a two-day visit to New York tomorrow (Monday), according to Radio Pakistan.
The delegation will present Pakistan’s perspective on the recent military clash with India and counter New Delhi’s disinformation campaign about the conflict.
Earlier, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman and former Foreign Minister, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that Pakistan seeks peace but stressed that India’s “new normal” of brinkmanship, such as the 2019 near-war escalation, endangers millions.
New Delhi’s narrative relies on lies: Bilawal
He also warned that unresolved disputes risk triggering a catastrophic nuclear conflict between Pakistan and India.
Speaking outside the Foreign Office after receiving a briefing, he added that the international community must understand: that two nuclear-armed rivals cannot afford miscalculations. Islamabad insists it is not the aggressor and will present evidence to foreign governments that Delhi’s narrative relies on “lies.”
It Is worth mentioning here that Pakistan had announced a major diplomatic push to counter what it calls India’s “aggressive propaganda” following recent military tensions. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has formed a committee under former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to coordinate with the world about Indian aggressive postures and hegemonic designs towards Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has tasked Bilawal with leading a high-profile delegation—including senior politicians and diplomats like Sherry Rehman, Hina Rabbani Khar, and ex-envoys Jalil Abbas Jilani and TehminaJanjua—to brief global powers on Kashmir, terrorism, and the Indus Waters Treaty. The team will plead that Delhi’s actions, including what Pakistan claims are the “weaponization” of water resources, are destabilising the region.
