The high-level delegation tasked with presenting Pakistan\u2019s position on the ongoing dispute with India has scheduled to meet on June 2, PPP Senator Sherry Rehman said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif decided to send a diplomatic delegation to important world capitals in the aftermath of the recent military escalation with India. He entrusted the PPP Chairman and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari to lead the delegation.<\/p>\n
The delegation comprises Senator Rehman, former foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar, Dr Musadik Malik, Engineer Khurram Dastgir, Faisal Subzwari, Tehmina Janjua, Senator Bushra Anjum Butt and Jalil Abbas Jilani.<\/p>\n
Speaking on DawnNewsTV programme \u2018Doosra Rukh\u2019, Senator Rehman said that the diplomatic committee had decided to visit various countries before Eidul Azha.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe committee, headed by Bilawal, will begin its tour of various countries on June 2, starting from New York,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cThe committee will first go to New York, then Washington, followed by London, and then Brussels.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rehman further said that Bilawal had emphasised that there was no hurry as Pakistan \u201cis not concerned with the Indian delegation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBilawal has said that we have our own stance and that we have enough content for our defence,\u201d she said, adding that the PPP chairman wanted a \u201csubstantive [and] quality meeting\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s recent remarks regarding the Indus Water Treaty, saying \u201cNo politician, especially a PM, says things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that Modi wanted the region to remain in \u201ccrisis\u201d to prevent any space for negotiations.<\/p>\n
In a separate interview with the Saudi television network Al-Arabiya, the senator warned that stability in a volatile region is not possible with Modi\u2019s escalatory rhetoric.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is pushing the region toward a dangerous new abnormal, which cannot possibly be acceptable to anyone,\u201d Senator Rehman said. \u201cNothing is normal or rational about this doctrinal shift in India\u2019s foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
She highlighted that India was also mining more groundwater than any other country in the world, especially from the Indus River Basin, while trying to cut off what they can of Pakistan\u2019s water lifeline, stating that this is \u201ctotally unsustainable or acceptable in today\u2019s climate-stressed world\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
