Delighted to attend the inauguration ceremony of Ismaili Center, Houston. Had the singularly significant honor of interacting with HH Prince Rahim Agha Khan. The imposing & beautiful structure of the center completed under HH patronage will serve as a venue for community services and interfaith harmony as envisioned by the late Prince Karim Agha Khan.
His services to humanity stand out as a symbol of leadership, foresight and compassion. Great to see Agha Khan V following the footsteps of his illustrious father.
Statement by the Spokesperson in Response to Media Queries Pertaining to the Debate in the Indian Parliament on the Operation Sindoor.
Responding to media queries concerning the debate in the Indian Parliament on the so-called “Operation Sindoor”, the Spokesperson said:
“Pakistan categorically rejects the baseless assertions and provocative claims made by the Indian leaders during the Lok Sabha debate on the so-called “Operation Sindoor.” These statements reflect a dangerous tendency to distort facts, justify aggression, and glorify conflict for domestic consumption.
The world knows that India attacked Pakistan without any verifiable evidence or a credible investigation into the Pahalgam Attack. During the intervening night of 6 and 7 May 2025, India’s targeting of the alleged terrorist infrastructure resulted actually in the martyrdom of innocent men, women, and children. India failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives. On the other hand, Pakistan’s resounding success in neutralising the Indian fighter jets and military targets is an indisputable fact. Instead of misleading their compatriots, the Indian leaders would be well-advised to acknowledge the losses incurred by their armed forces and accept the active role played by the third parties in realising the ceasefire.
India did not avail itself of the immediate offer made by the Prime Minister of Pakistan for a transparent and independent probe into the Pahalgam Attack. Instead, it chose the path of belligerence and aggression. It acted as a judge, jury, and executioner at the same time. Against this backdrop, any claims regarding the so-called “Operation Mahadev” do not hold any significance for us. The account given by the Indian Home Minister is replete with fabrications, leading to serious questions about its credibility. Is it a mere coincidence that the alleged perpetrators of the Pahalgam Attack were killed at the start of the Lok Sabha debate? We also reiterate our unequivocal rejection of the ceaseless Indian statements on establishing a “new normal” in bilateral relations. As we have already shown through our resolute actions in May 2025, we shall forcefully counter any future aggression. For us,the only “normal” in bilateral relations is respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and adherence to the principles and purposes of the UN Charter. The Indian narrative of an alleged “nuclear blackmail” by Pakistan is a misleading and self-serving construct, and an attempt to veil its own escalatory impulses while shifting blame onto Pakistan. It is well known that Pakistan deterred India through its conventional capabilities, affirming that discipline and restraint remain its guiding principles.
We also wish to register our disapproval of the Indian leaders’ misplaced assertions regarding the Indus Waters Treaty. India’s decision to hold the Treaty in abeyance shows its blatant disregard for the sanctity of international treaties, and strikes at a fundamental pillar of regional cooperation. Instead of taking pride in a unilateral and illegal move, India must immediately fulfil its Treaty obligations.
India’s continued reliance on disinformation, jingoism, and chest-thumping risks destabilising South Asia. However, as a responsible country, Pakistan remains committed to peace, regional stability, and a meaningful dialogue for resolution of all outstanding issues, including the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmir." 🔗⬇️

Pakistan delegation starts its intl foray from the @UN- the bastion of internal law based order. With a quest for sustainable peace &security . No problem is intractable, no issue, unsolvable, we just need to be committed to being problem solvers rather than problem perpetrators
Together with Pakistan’s high-level delegation, we called on the UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres and, on behalf of PM @CMShehbaz, presented a letter outlining Pakistan’s concerns over recent Indian aggression. Reaffirmed our commitment to peace, responsible conduct, and rejection of baseless allegations. Underscored the urgency of dialogue on Jammu & Kashmir, an unfinished agenda of the United Nations, respect for international law, UNSC resolutions, and the Indus Waters Treaty, a lifeline for 240 million Pakistanis, now threatened by the dangerous precedent of weaponisation of water. Appreciated the SG’s leadership and his offer of good offices, which Pakistan has always valued as a principled path to peace, particularly in advancing comprehensive dialogue that India continues to evade. #PeaceWithResponsibility
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari addressed the UN with a clear message: diplomacy must replace brinkmanship between India & Pakistan. As nuclear neighbors edge closer to conflict, global leadership must act—before rhetoric turns into war. #SouthAsia#India#Pakistan https://t.co/aLlacJatrD

🧵Part-1/3 - My statement to OIC :

Reaffirmed our abiding commitment to restraint, diplomacy, dialogue, and a rules-based international order. Underscored the dangers of India’s weaponization of water by violating Indus water treaty and resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions. Pakistan unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and remains a victim of terrorism, planned and sponsored from beyond our borders.
