Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday accused India of “escalatory and provocative behaviour”, an AFP report stated, as tensions between the 2 international locations mount following a terror assault in Pahalgam which killed 26 civilians.
A Reuters report, citing an announcement launched by Sharif’s workplace, stated that in a telephone name to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Sharif urged the US to impress upon India to dial down the rhetoric and act responsibly.
“India’s provocations would solely serve to distract Pakistan from its ongoing efforts to defeat terrorism, notably from militant teams,” Sharif stated, in accordance with the assertion launched by his workplace.
