Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said if Pakistan’s ISI and India’s RAW worked together, terrorism would reduce in both countries.

The PPP chairman made these remarks during a media briefing at the UN Headquarters in New York. He said more terror attacks happen in Pakistan than India and suggested that cooperation would be more effective than finger-pointing.

He added, “Pakistan has been a very responsible partner in the fight against terrorism. We have suffered in this fight and grown through our combat experience with terrorists. We have learned our lessons; now it is time for the world to learn theirs.”

Bilawal condemned India’s May 7 strikes in Pakistan, calling them violations of international law and the UN Charter.

He said the attacks hit civilian areas, dams and religious sites, causing deaths, including women and children.

Despite this, he said Pakistan still wanted to work with India against terrorism. “We can’t leave the fate of 1.5 or 1.7 billion people in the hands of non-state actors and terrorists,” he said.

“Pakistan is willing to put all cards on the table. Let’s talk about terrorism, let’s talk about Kashmir, let’s talk about water, let’s make peace,” he added.

He criticised India for rejecting PM Shehbaz Sharif’s offer for an impartial investigation after the Pahalgam attack and instead launching strikes. Pakistan responded by downing six Indian planes.

Bilawal warned, “If there’s a terrorist attack in India, it means war with Pakistan. And reciprocity would mean war with India for attacks in Pakistan. That is untenable.”

He said India used Israeli drones in its strikes and accused India of copying Israel’s settler tactics in Kashmir.

“Modi is sort of the Temu version of Netanyahu. It’s a little poor copy,” he added.

Bilawal accused India of using terrorism claims to demonise Muslims and avoid dialogue. He criticised India’s disinformation, saying, “This man is not a terrorist… Pakistan happens to have a name similar to one of the sanctioned people but he is not a terrorist.”

He said Pakistan is open to cooperation and dialogue and hopes India will stop using terrorism as a cover to avoid accountability.
