Senator Sherry Rehman congratulated the civil and military leadership for “emerging out of the war with dignity, professionalism and national resolve unequivocally intact”.

In a post on X, Sherry said that PM Shehbaz, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, President Asif Ali Zardari and COAS Asim Munir, along with our valorous military, have proved they can brilliantly defend the motherland on all platforms without losing nerve or grace.

“They have also given a clear message of Pakistan’s obvious capacity for conventional deterrence,” she said, adding that it was high time that India was urged to bring a constructive approach to the table for broader talks, including on water and Kashmir. Pakistan’s doors are always open for dialogue and sanity on just, equal terms.

“Time for the Indian media also to not shrink the political space for a sober endgame,” she said.

“Lessons learnt should be based on facts, not myths.”
