KARACHI: Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, has accused India of funding terrorist organizations operating in Pakistan, warning that the current tensions between the two countries could escalate into another conflict at any time.
Addressing a French media channel, Bilawal Bhutto said that there must be dialogue between both nations for permanent peace. He further stated that terrorism was not merely an issue for Pakistan, but India was also affected by it.
On the subject of the Strait of Hormuz, he said that there was no military solution to the problem. “If the tensions between Iran and America rise again, then its repercussions will not remain confined to the region,” he said.

Speaking in Gilgit-Baltistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan maintained continuous engagement with both countries to extend the ceasefire and hopes it will contribute to lasting peace in the region.
