After India, now Pakistan has also denied America’s role in ceasefire between the two countries. It also claimed that on the request of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia spoke to India for ceasefire. Pakistan Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar made this claim during an interview in the Pakistani news channel.
Ishaq Dar also interviewed that India had attacked two big airbase, Noor Khan and Shorkot, Pakistan. He revealed that on the intervening night of May 6-7, when Pakistan was preparing for a counter-attack, India again made an air strike and damaged the Noor Khan-Shorkot airbase.
Ishaq Dar accepted Saudi Arabia’s initiative in the role of ceasefire between the two countries. He said that after the attacks of India, Prince of Saudi Arabia proposed to talk to India over the phone. Then after the agitation of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia spoke to India.
Ishaq Dar told, ‘About 45 minutes after the Indian attack, Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia spoke to me on the phone. Prince said whether I am India’s Foreign Minister S.K. Talk to Jaishankar? If Pakistan is ready to stop, then India can also stop. On this I said yes to them. Then after some time, the Prince got a call again and told that he has told all the things to Jaishankar. This claim of Ishaq Dar now made it clear that Saudi Arabia played an important role in calming the increasing resentment between India and Pakistan.
After the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Army killed more than 100 terrorists by accurately attacking the nine terrorist bases in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) and Pakistan under ‘Operation Sindoor’. After this, tension between the two countries increased due to Pakistan’s failed attacks. Later, there was a ceasefire at Pakistan’s request, but US President Donald Trump was several times claimed to have a ceasefire between the two countries from international forums, while India continued to deny it.
Now this is the first time that Pakistan also denied the role of America’s mediation between the two neighboring countries and made it clear that Saudi Arabia came forward to reduce the tension between the two countries.
