ISLAMABAD: Former Ambassador to the United States Maleeha Lodhi has said tension between Pakistan and India does not seem subsiding as the latter has imposed a ban on importing goods of the former.
In a statement issued here, the former diplomat said India did not have evidence that Pakistan had a link in the Pahalgam attack, adding India escalated tensions in the region based on allegations.
“Now the ball is in India’s court after Pakistan offered a neutral investigation into the Pahalgam attack. The United States and the world’s countries want peace in the region. “They don’t want to see escalations between the two countries. The United States is the only country in the world that can impress upon India to exercise restraint. Pakistan is fully prepared to handle any kind of situation,” she said.
