Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has claimed that India wants war by using terrorist attacks as an excuse.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, the former foreign minister warned that tensions between Pakistan and India are rising. He said the fear of war between two nuclear powers is now greater than ever.
Bilawal stated, “This attitude will not help either country. India wants war under the cover of terrorism, which is dangerous for regional peace.”
He stressed that past mistakes should not affect future generations. “We [Pakistan] will act against terrorists based on FATF rules,” he added.
Bilawal also repeated Pakistan’s support for Kashmiris. He called for the right to self-determination under United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
He criticized human rights abuses in India, saying, “We cannot stay silent on this issue.”
Responding to questions about cross-border attacks, Bilawal said Pakistan is ready to investigate if India provides solid evidence. “India does not cooperate in investigations. But if they share proof, we will act,” he said.
His comments reflect growing concerns in Pakistan over recent developments in the region. The claim that India wants war highlights the fragile relationship between the two neighbors.
The interview has sparked debate in political and diplomatic circles. Experts say clear communication and evidence-sharing are key to avoiding further escalation.
As both countries face global pressure to maintain peace, the need for diplomacy remains urgent. Statements like “India wants war” show how quickly tensions can rise without mutual understanding.
