PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that India’s years-old narrative of Pakistan being a terrorist state was no longer working. “We have truth, justice and history on our side,” he asserted while speaking on the floor of the Parliament.

“This is not 2021 or 2023 … no country can just randomly accuse another country of being a terrorist state,” he stated, stressing that everyone knew Pakistan had nothing to do with the Pahalgam attack and India was levelling “baseless allegations”.

“Pakistan does not need to deploy terrorism, the people of Kashmir do not need to deploy terrorism … we, according to international laws, are standing by the truth and India is standing by lies,” Bilawal said.
