Diplomatic Moves: Strains and Dialogues Between India and Pakistan
Recent interviews reveal that India and Pakistan have been communicating at the National Security Council level amidst escalating tensions. Pakistan's ambassador claims India holds the responsibility for de-escalation. Clashes have intensified after a terrorist attack in Kashmir, resulting in significant casualties and accusations from both sides.
In a recent interview, Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S., Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, highlighted ongoing contacts between India and Pakistan at the National Security Council level. This revelation comes amidst growing tensions between the nuclear-armed countries.
Sheikh emphasized that the responsibility for calming the ongoing confrontation lies with India, while Pakistan retains the right to respond to any aggression. Global powers, including the United States, are urging dialogue and a reduction in hostilities.
The latest escalation, marked by mutual accusations of drone attacks, follows a deadly incident in India-administered Kashmir. This violence has resulted in nearly four dozen fatalities, exacerbating the long-standing strife between the two nations.
