Bilawal Bhutto gets an earful from US lawmaker, asked to eliminate Jaish-e-Mohammed
A senior US lawmaker told a visiting Pakistani delegation, led by former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, to take strong action against the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed and to ensure the safety of religious minorities in the country. This comes as Congressman Brad Sherman met with the Pakistani delegation in Washington on Thursday. Their visit coincided with that of an Indian multi-party parliamentary team led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is in the US to brief American officials about Operation Sindoor and India's response to terrorism following the April 22 Pahalgam attack. After meeting Bilawal Bhutto, Sherman took to social media platform 'X' and said, 'I emphasised to the Pakistani delegation the importance of combatting terrorism, and in particular, the group Jaish-e-Mohammed, who murdered my constituent Daniel Pearl in 2002.' He was referring to a Wall Street Journal journalist, Pearl, who was kidnapped and killed by terrorists in Pakistan. Omar Saeed Sheikh was convicted for planning the crime. Sherman added that Pearl's family still lives in his district and stressed, 'Pakistan should do all it can to eliminate this vile group and combat terrorism in the region.' The US lawmaker also pressed the Pakistani side to push for the release of Dr Shakil Afridi, the physician who helped US intelligence locate Osama bin Laden. 'Freeing Dr Afridi represents an important step in bringing closure for victims of 9/11,' Sherman said. Afridi was arrested in 2011 after the bin Laden raid and was later sentenced to 33 years in prison by a Pakistani court. The US lawmaker further raised concerns about religious freedom in Pakistan, saying, 'Christians, Hindus and Ahmadiyya Muslims living in Pakistan must be allowed to practice their faith and participate in the democratic system without fear of violence, persecution, discrimination, or an unequal justice system.' Bhutto Zardari's visit, which included meetings with UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and UN security council ambassadors in New York, appears to be part of Pakistan's effort to raise the Kashmir issue internationally. However, US lawmakers instead urged the delegation to address terrorism based in Pakistan.

China, Iran on board as Brics forum stands against Pahalgam attack
The Brics Parliamentary Forum has strongly condemned the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and resolved to take collective action against terrorism, according to a communique released by the Lok Sabha Secretariat on Friday. The joint declaration was adopted at the 11th Brics Parliamentary Forum held in Brasilia, Brazil, by 10 member nations, including India, Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. The high-level Indian delegation was led by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. 'The joint declaration strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India, and member parliaments agreed to act collectively against terrorism. Shri Birla stressed the need for joint efforts to curb financial support to terrorist organizations, enhance intelligence sharing, prevent the misuse of emerging technologies, and promote cooperation in investigation and judicial processes,' the communique stated, noting that India's firm stance on countering terrorism was strongly acknowledged by the forum. The communique also stated that Birla, in his address, presented India's position on various key subjects — especially global cooperation against terrorism, a just and balanced international order, participation in technological innovation, and democratic exchange. The two-day Brics Parliamentary Forum, which ended on June 5, saw delegates deliberating pressing global challenges including the responsible use of artificial intelligence, inter-parliamentary cooperation, global trade and economy, and international peace and security. At the conclusion of the event, Birla was handed over the chairmanship over the forum's chairmanship, with India hosting the 12th Brics Parliamentary Forum next year. 'India will now play an active role in strengthening cooperation among Brics parliaments and advancing a shared approach to addressing global challenges,' the statement added. Terrorists gunned down 26 tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22, leading to a spike in tensions between two countries. India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7 when the army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) hit nine terror camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing more than 100 terrorists. It triggered four days of strikes and counterstrikes with fighter jets, missiles, drones, long-range weapons and heavy artillery before the two sides reached an understanding on stopping all military action on May 10.
