Senator Sherry Rehman, in a joint session of the parliament, has called out India for being the aggressor in the ongoing armed conflict with Pakistan.

"India has been the aggressor in this entire episode. They started it. Twenty-one parties in India have said that Modi is instigating a war for his personal political gains. We must notice this and appreciate them [Indian parties]. They have seen that no F-16 was shot down. We did not violate their borders, they committed an act of war." — Sherry Rehman
