Following the tense military standoff, Operation Bunyan-al-Marsous has positioned Pakistan to push for diplomatic solutions to long-standing disputes with India, including Kashmir and the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the need for dialogue and peace in a televised address on Saturday.
PM Calls for Dialogue
Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan agreed to the ceasefire in the interest of regional stability and the welfare of millions. He expressed hope that all unresolved issues, including Kashmir and water sharing, would now be resolved through negotiations, not conflict.
Defending Sovereignty
The prime minister hailed the armed forces for a swift and effective response, calling it a historic military chapter. He described India’s actions as “naked aggression,” triggered by the Pahalgam incident, and condemned the targeting of civilians and mosques through drones and missiles. Pakistan, he said, responded in a language India could understand.
