00:00Would you say that the majority of people in Pakistan condemn what happened in Palgam?

00:05Well, the government of Pakistan has condemned what happened in Palgam.

00:08My party and my leader, Ibn Khan, has condemned what happened in Palgam.

00:12His speech can be referred to in that context.

00:15We issued a statement offering sympathies with the bereaved families.

00:21But we also want an independent inquiry into the incident.

00:24We're not going to just take India's position on face value

00:27because what they say and what they do are two different things.

00:30You know, and this is repeatedly, Pakistan has been a victim of that duplicity for a very long time.

00:35We still believe that, you know, de-escalation is the way forward.

00:39We don't. Pakistan has repeatedly said, you know, that we do not want to escalate.

00:43But unfortunately, in the last 48 hours, you know, India has repeatedly assaulted Pakistan.

00:47There has been a rain of assaults in Pakistan today after yesterday's missile attacks.

00:56They have resorted to drones, you know,

00:57and dozens of drones, you know, have been felled in Pakistan,

01:01while others have hit some, you know, habitations.

01:07So this is ongoing.

01:10There's a need to de-escalate.

01:12There.

01:13There.

01:29There.
