Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the former foreign minister and chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), has cautioned that India’s alleged “new normal” of aggression is unsustainable and not in its best interests, particularly because both New Delhi and Islamabad are nuclear-armed states.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that Operation Sindoor had “carved out a new benchmark in our fight against terrorism and has set up a new parameter and new normal” just hours after the countries agreed to a ceasefire earlier this month.
After four days of fierce cross-border drone and missile strikes, which followed India’s unjustified attacks on Islamabad, Pakistan and India agreed to a truce on May 10th, ending their bloodiest combat in almost thirty years.
