PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari says New Delhi has been exposed internationally after Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he had not received evidence linking Pakistan to the Pahalgam attack.
Web Desk: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said India now stands internationally exposed after Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim rejected an attempt to link Pakistan with the 2025 Pahalgam attack.
Bilawal praised Ibrahim for rejecting what he described as Indian propaganda during an interview with Indian broadcaster NDTV on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi.
Bilawal calls for India to honour ceasefire commitments
In a post on X, Bilawal said India had started a war based on what he described as a false narrative and subsequently lost the conflict.
He called on New Delhi to honour its commitments made at the time of the ceasefire and agree to discuss all outstanding issues with Islamabad.
Bilawal said such engagement could help both countries work towards peace, prosperity and stability in the region.
Malaysian PM rejects attempt to link Pakistan to Pahalgam attack
During his NDTV interview, Ibrahim was asked about the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam attack after the interviewer attempted to establish a connection between Pakistan and the incident.
The Malaysian prime minister said his country’s security agencies had not informed him that the Pakistani state was involved in terrorism.
He also said he had not been presented with evidence establishing such a connection.
The remarks came after India accused Pakistan of involvement in the attack, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. Islamabad rejected the allegation and called for a neutral investigation.
Ibrahim also addresses Gaza
During the same interview, Ibrahim was asked whether Israel’s actions in Gaza amounted to state terrorism.
The Malaysian premier answered in the affirmative and described the actions as “state terrorism.”
Pakistan-India conflict
The Pahalgam attack was followed by heightened tensions between Pakistan and India.
India launched military strikes against Pakistan on May 6-7, 2025, triggering an armed conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. A US-brokered ceasefire later brought the fighting to an end.
Bilawal’s latest comments come as Islamabad continues to call for dialogue with New Delhi and resolution of outstanding issues through diplomatic engagement.
