Efforts on for back channel contacts with India after senior Sharif attends Pakistan's security huddle: report
LAHORE: (May 9) At a time when Pakistan's civil and military leadership is emphasising to respond to India amid military conflict, efforts are being made by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to strengthen back channel contacts to defuse tension with New Delhi, a media report said Friday.
Nawaz Sharif, the chief of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) attended a security huddle at the Prime Minister's House late Thursday evening and advised his younger brother and incumbent prime minister Shehbaz Sharif to ease tensions with India diplomatically.
Tensions between India and Pakistan soared significantly following India's Operation Sindoor on early Wednesday in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 that had cross-border linkages. Pakistan subsequently made unsuccessful attempt to attack 15 Indian cities.
