Shehbaz Sharif seeks Donald Trumps mediation as India’s delegation corners Pakistan in US

Addressing an occasion on the US embassy in Islamabad, Shehbaz Sharif praised Donald Trump for his function in serving to de-escalate the scenario with India, a declare New Delhi has publicly denied. He additionally urged Washington to facilitate a complete dialogue between the 2 nuclear neighbours, information company ANI reported.

The Pakistan PM was repeating the plea made by former international minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, who had claimed that Trump “deserves credit” for serving to facilitate the cessation of hostilities between the 2 nations.

“On 10 different occasions, he has taken credit for facilitating the ceasefire between India and Pakistan – and rightly so. He deserves that credit because it was his efforts that helped make the ceasefire possible.

India has constantly rejected third-party mediation on bilateral points with Pakistan, together with the Kashmir problem.

Indian delegation to US on Operation Sindoor responds

The Indian delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, on Operation Sindoor visiting the US –  one in all seven such groups despatched by the GOI – has mentioned that Washington has understood India’s place that there could be no talks with a gun pointed on the head.

“I think the US has understood for some time now that India has a very clear position that there will be no talks with a gun pointed at our head… The problem is that we will not deal with people who are pointing a gun at our heads. I mean frankly, if your neighbour unleashes his Rottweilers to bite your children and in fact to do worse to your children, and then says, let’s talk. You think he’s going to talk until he either unleashes those Rottweilers or locks them up in a kennel, or puts them to sleep. It’s as simple as that. You’re not going to talk to people who are pointing guns at your temples. It’s not going to happen,” mentioned Shashi Tharoor, who’s main the all-party delegation to the United States.

Tharoor additionally slammed the Pakistani aspect for making claims that it was as a lot a sufferer of terrorism as India was.

“This (Pakistan) delegation is going around saying we are also victims of terrorism, we have lost more lives to terrorism than India has. We turn around and say- Whose fault is that? As Hillary Clinton famously said 10 years ago. You can’t breed vipers in your backyard and expect them to bite only your neighbours…That’s why they (Pakistan) are now getting terrorists attacked by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, but who created the Taliban from which the Tehrik-i-Taliban broke off? We all know the answer to that, so let Pakistan look inside it and let it do some serious interior reflection before it goes around pleading innocence and deniability and everything else,” the Congress MP added

Echoing that sentiment, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, who can be a member of the delegation, mentioned that Pakistan talking of peace was just like the satan quoting the scriptures.

“Bhutto has been calling his delegation a peace delegation, and it is quite ironic that the Pakistani delegation is speaking the language of peace. It’s like the Devil quoting from the scriptures. For a country that is trying to create fake heroes by promoting failed generals to field marshal, they don’t know what true leaders look like. Pakistan has been surviving on cheap Chinese imports, including military hardware, which spectacularly failed on the battlefield.. So perhaps it is hard for them to digest high-quality, high-calibre military hardware as well as strong democratic leadership on the other side of the border,” he mentioned.
