PPP Leaders Demand India Be Declared a “Terrorist State,” Call for Review of Kashmir Agreements
LAHORE (May 8, 2025) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leaders have called for India to be declared a “terrorist state” following recent escalations, while also demanding a reassessment of key agreements, including the Simla Accord and water-sharing pacts.
Key Demands & Statements:
-
Declare India a “Terrorist State”
-
Syed Hassan Murtaza (PPP Central Punjab Secretary General) accused India of cross-border terrorism, targeting civilians, and violating international laws.
-
He urged Pakistan to redefine the Line of Control (LoC) as the “Line of Ceasefire” and revisit water agreements.
-
-
Strong Support for Armed Forces
-
Murtaza asserted that the PPP stands united with Pakistan’s military, setting aside political differences.
-
He praised the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for outperforming India’s Rafale jets, claiming: “India took pride in its Rafale jets, but our falcons proved their superiority.”
-
-
Allegations of Indian Unrest & Military Mutiny
-
Murtaza claimed growing dissent in India, citing:
-
Shutdown of news channels & banned websites
-
Alleged mutiny in the Indian Army, with soldiers “deserting posts and raising white flags”
-
-
-
Tribute to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto & Nuclear Deterrence
-
Syed Ali Haider Gilani (PPP Punjab Parliamentary Leader) credited Z.A. Bhutto for making Pakistan a nuclear power, ensuring an “impregnable defence.”
-
He warned India: “Our falcons are awake and ready to crush any aggression.”
-
Analysis & Implications:
-
Escalating Rhetoric: The PPP’s strong statements reflect rising tensions after recent drone clashes and alleged Indian violations.
-
Political Unity: Despite internal differences, major parties are aligning on national security against perceived Indian threats.
-
Diplomatic Pressure: Calls to revise the Simla Agreement signal a potential shift in Pakistan’s Kashmir policy.
-
Information Warfare: Claims of Indian media suppression and military unrest aim to counter Indian narratives in the ongoing media & psychological war.
As Pakistan’s political leadership hardens its stance, the demand to label India a “terrorist state” could further strain relations. With both nations on high alert, the risk of escalation remains—making diplomatic intervention crucial to prevent a broader conflict.
