Pakistan on kashmir issue: 26 people lost their lives in a terrorist attack on 22 April 2025 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. After this, the tension between India and Pakistan once again reached the peak. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Rizwan Saeed Sheikh said in an interview to Fox News that the Kashmir controversy is at the root of Indo-Pak relations and it is the only way to reduce stress. During this time he appealed to the international community to intervene to solve this “nuclear flashpint”.
Sheikh’s statement that the Indo-Pak war can go up to the “nuclear option”, there may be an attempt to create political pressure in a way and also a strategic fear, allowing the international community to interfere in the matter. Analysts believe that such statements are often given by Pakistan to attract global attention, but the situation is sensitive and these words may be diplomatic, their results can be very serious.
Affairs for help from international community
Rizwan Saeed Sheikh said that whenever there is tension in Kashmir, the world goes to this, but as soon as peace comes for some time, the world turns blindly. He demanded the international community to make efforts towards permanent solution. This is an old strategy in which Pakistan raises the Kashmir issue in front of the United Nations, America and other countries, so that international pressure can be made on India.
Do not make allegations before investigation- Pakistan
The Government of India claims that the roots of this terrorist attack are in Pakistan. Evidence has also been found in the initial investigation. At the same time, Pakistan has denied any role in this and said that India is making false accusations without evidence. India has said that the attack is part of across the border -sponsored terrorism, which has been trying to destabilize Kashmir for decades.
Can Pahalgam attack become a turning point of Indo-Pak relations?
After this attack, there has been a complete breakdown in relations between Indo-Pak. The dialogue between the two countries is almost stalled and tension is at its peak. In this situation, an attempt to bring the Kashmir issue on the international stage can once again deepen the diplomatic dispute.
