India labelled it an act of terrorism orchestrated by Pakistan, a claim denied by leaders in Islamabad. Following this, India attacked Pakistan which led to days-long military engagement between the two neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to&nbsp;<em>Geo News<\/em>, Senator Rehman stated that they held positive meetings with American lawmakers who understood Pakistan&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&#8220;Everyone agreed that weaponisation of water was dangerous,&#8221; she said, adding that: &#8220;India&#8217;s identity is becoming that of a belligerent state.&#8221; She asserted that IIOJK has become the largest open-air prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sherry also clarified that the Pakistani delegation was not &#8220;chasing&#8221; the Indian delegation, pointing towards Pakistani and Indian delegation&#8217;s visit to the US at the same time. She said: &#8220;Our story is our own story.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She further warned that Pakistan would respond if India were to attack, and stressed that &#8220;our goal is to promote peace and negotiations&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sherry stated that Pakistan has &#8220;more complaints against India&#8221; and suggested that the Indian delegation&#8217;s sole purpose was to defame Pakistan, whereas the delegation went to the US to &#8220;tell Pakistan&#8217;s story&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subzwari, another member of the diplomatic delegation, told&nbsp;<em>Geo News&nbsp;<\/em>that their tour began at the United Nations, where they presented Pakistan&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Even though we showed military superiority, we have come to invite peace,&#8221; Subzwari stated. He expressed a desire for global powers to convey to India that &#8220;two nuclear powers cannot progress in such a dangerous environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said India is seeking &#8220;immunity to commit aggression without proof,&#8221; citing the Pahalgam incident after which India attacked civilian infrastructure on Pakistani soil despite calls for evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said Pakistan desired for the current ceasefire to lead to &#8220;permanent peace&#8221;. The country&#8217;s stance was presented to the US State Department and members of parliament, and their &#8220;peace-based stance has largely been well-received,&#8221; he said. He also said they had brought a message of peace in the region, which is India&#8217;s failure and Pakistan&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Life and death&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Dastgir emphasised that the issue of water is a matter of life and death for Pakistan, and we will not back down from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: A high-level Pakistani diplomatic delegation has reached United Kingdom after concluding a series of positive meetings with US Congress members and senators in Washington and New York.
