'India started a war based on a lie and lost miserably': Bilawal reacts to Indian media's attempt to link Pakistan to terrorism

Bilateral relations between India and Pakistan were strained last year when a conflict erupted in May, following accusations that Pakistan was responsible for an attack on Indian tourists in the region of Pahalgam. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, speaking to Indian media, defended Pakistan against such allegations. He stated that India had "started a war based on a lie and lost miserably," referring to the May conflict.

Ibrahim was careful to avoid directly labeling Pakistan's actions as terrorism, acknowledging the sensitivity of the topic. He emphasized that his intelligence services would never imply state-sponsored terrorism. Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, Chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, reacted sharply to Ibrahim's comments, criticizing India for initiating a war based on a falsehood and lamenting the international exposure of India's actions.

He urged both nations to honor their ceasefire commitments and work towards regional peace and stability.
