Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif issued a statement on Sunday, in which he has drawn attention to the recent revelations made by the ex-Governor of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) about the Pulwama incident.
The prime minister’s tweet asserts that the Indian government exploited the situation after Pulwama attack for political gains and urges the world to take notice of India’s dangerous brinkmanship that could have led to disastrous consequences for the region.
The Pulwama incident occurred in February 2019, when a convoy of Indian security forces was attacked by a suicide bomber in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of 40 Indian soldiers.
India had blamed Pakistan for the attack and had conducted airstrikes in Pakistani territory, leading to a military standoff between the two countries.
