Pakistan’s former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari revealed that Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had locked 20 Indian Air Force jets on the night of May 6th and 7th.
However, Pakistan’s air force only downed six Indian jets as a show of restraint. He said by showing the strain, Pakistan said that Pakistan advocates peace and doesn’t want war.
He also talked about how Pakistan informed the truth to its nation and to the international community. It took India a month to admit the losses.
The address came amid the visit of a high-level team — consisting of three former foreign ministers, two former foreign secretaries, two former ambassadors to the US, and a serving federal minister — for consultations at the United Nations. The team arrived in New York on Sunday.
Ex-FMs Bilawal, Hina Rabbani Khar and Khurram Dastgir; Senators Sherry Rehman, Musadik Malik, Faisal Sabzwari and Bushra Anjum Butt; and Jalil Abbas Jilani and Tehmina Janjua are members of the delegation.
