ISLAMABAD:
A Pakistani parliamentary delegation, led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, met with British think tanks and policymakers at Chatham House in London on Monday. Chatham House is the UK’s leading think tank, focusing on foreign and security policy issues.
Bilawal and other members of the delegation presented Pakistan’s perspective on the recent tensions in South Asia, expressing deep concern over India’s unprovoked military aggression.
“India’s unprovoked military actions pose a serious threat to regional stability,” he said. He added that India’s actions are a clear violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, international law, and the United Nations Charter.
The delegation emphasised that Pakistan’s armed forces, with the full support of the people, gave a strong response to Indian aggression. They further stated that the Pakistani military successfully thwarted India’s attempts to establish a new so-called “normal” in the region.

Bilawal strongly condemned India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, stating that weaponising water violates international norms and sets a dangerous precedent.
He urged the international community to take notice of this alarming development and hold India accountable for its actions.
He also highlighted that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains a core obstacle to lasting peace and stability in the region.
Bilawal called on the global community to support meaningful dialogue and ensure adherence to international commitments and respect for human rights.
The delegation included Musadik Malik, Sherry Rehman, Hina Rabbani Khar, Khurram Dastgir, Faisal Sabzwari, Bushra Anjum Butt, Jalil Abbas Jilani, and Tehmina Janjua. Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the UK, Dr Mohammad Faisal, was also present during the roundtable conference.
