Pakistan locked 20 Indian jets but chose to down only six: Bilawal
2025-06-10
[GEO.TV] Pakistain has called on the world powers to intervene in resolving key issues with arch-rival India amid ongoing tensions following a conflict last month.

The call was made by former foreign minister and Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari during his visit to London, where he held several high-profile meetings.

Bilawal is leading a delegation to present the Pak perspective on the recent conflict with India to the world and counter New Delhi's unproven allegations. As part of its global outreach, the team has visited the United States, is currently in London, and will also head to Brussels.

The delegation comprises former foreign ministers Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Hina Rabbani Khar and Khurram Dastgir; Senators Sherry Rehman, Musadik Malik, Faisal Subzwari and Bushra Anjum Butt; along with senior envoys Jalil Abbas Jilani and Tehmina Janjua.

Bilawal Bhutto said, speaking to Pak media in London: ''We had the upper hand [during the conflict]. Despite that upper hand, we agreed to the ceasefire on the condition that there would be further dialogue in the future on all friction points at a neutral location,'' Bilawal told news hounds in London. When asked whether he thought that the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
dispute would soon be resolved after the US mediated the ceasefire, Bilawal expressed the hope that ''moving forward, Trump or his government will keep its promise'' as Pakistain's defence position was better than India's during the conflict.
