Nawaz Sharif's Diplomatic Efforts Amidst Indo-Pak Tensions

In the midst of escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has stepped in with diplomatic efforts to calm the situation. Reports suggest Sharif is actively working to reinforce backdoor diplomacy as a strategy to resolve the conflict with India peacefully.

During a high-profile security gathering at the Prime Minister's House, Sharif advised his brother, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, to steer clear of aggressive postures and instead utilize diplomatic avenues to ease the tension. This guidance comes in the wake of India's military move in response to cross-border terrorism linked to Pakistan.

The Express Tribune highlights Sharif's history with Indo-Pak relations, noting his leadership during the Kargil conflict. Currently, he seeks to dial down rhetoric and stress engagement over aggression, amidst accusations from both sides of the border. Pakistan's Foreign Office insists on vigilance but commits to a peaceful resolution.
