Pakistan Activates Diplomatic Front to Expose Indian Aggression
News Desk
Islamabad: In response to escalating tensions with India, the government of Pakistan has initiated a high-level diplomatic mission led by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
The delegation will tour key global capitals to present Pakistan’s stance, counter Indian narratives, and advocate for peace in the region.
The delegation includes senior political leaders and diplomats such as Federal Ministers Dr Musaddiq Malik, Khurram Dastgir Khan, Sherry Rehman, Minister of State Hina Rabbani Khar, Senator Faisal Sabzwari, former Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua, and former Ambassador to the US and EU Jalil Abbas Jilani.
Their scheduled visits include Washington, London, Paris, and Brussels—centers of global diplomacy and policymaking.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif personally tasked Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari with leading the initiative in a formal phone call.
Accepting the responsibility, Bilawal stated, “I was contacted earlier today by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who requested that I lead a delegation to present Pakistan’s case for peace on the international stage. I am honoured to accept this responsibility and remain committed to serving Pakistan.” His statement was shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also confirmed the government’s diplomatic outreach plan, adding that additional parliamentary delegations would be dispatched to Europe, the United States, and Russia to brief global leaders and stakeholders on Pakistan’s position amid the ongoing tensions.
Pakistan’s move comes in the wake of India’s announcement to send seven diplomatic delegations led by parliamentarians, including Shashi Tharoor and Ravi Shankar Prasad, to various countries such as the US, UK, Japan, South Africa, and several Middle Eastern nations to promote India’s narrative.
These diplomatic efforts follow a US-brokered ceasefire agreement reached on May 10, which ended an intense 87-hour-long military confrontation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The recent hostilities were sparked by a deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) that claimed the lives of 26 tourists. India blamed Pakistan for the incident without presenting any concrete evidence.
In retaliation to what Pakistan termed “continued Indian aggression and unprovoked cross-border strikes,” the Pakistan Armed Forces launched “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos,” targeting Indian military installations with precision strikes.
According to military officials, six Indian fighter jets, including three Rafale aircraft, and several drones were shot down during the operation.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported that Indian strikes led to the martyrdom of 53 Pakistanis, including 13 soldiers and 40 civilians.
As both nations engage in diplomatic offensives, the international community watches closely, with growing concerns about the potential fallout of further military escalation in South Asia.
