India cannot digest its defeat, says Bilawal Bhutto

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that India “cannot digest its defeat” following what he described as last year’s attack on Pakistan.

Addressing a parliamentary party meeting, Bilawal Bhutto said India launched an aggression against Pakistan last year but faced defeat. He added that India is now talking about “Operation Sindoor 2,” claiming that New Delhi intends to weaken Pakistan.

Bilawal Bhutto further stated that parliamentary debates on the budget have always taken place in challenging circumstances, but this year’s biggest challenge was related to national security.

He also said that the meeting discussed the federal budget, Gilgit-Baltistan elections, and the situation in Kashmir.

The PPP chairman noted that the initial decision was to boycott the budget session until concerns were addressed. However, he said that Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi requested participation in the session and assured that the party’s reservations would be resolved immediately.
