The UK government continues to encourage India and Pakistan to engage in meaningful dialogue and avoid actions that could further inflame tensions, a British minister has told the House of Lords.
During a short debate in the Grand Committee of the Upper House of the UK Parliament entitled ‘India and Pakistan: Peace Representations’ on Thursday, cross-party peers focused on the prospects of a "lasting peace" in the region following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 that claimed 26 lives.
While some peers of Pakistani heritage called for international mediation, British Indian parliamentarians highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion during Operation Sindoor of the strong evidence of state-sponsored terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
