Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has shifted tone, urging peace with India just days after threatening "blood in the Indus" over the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. Speaking in Pakistan’s National Assembly, Bhutto said Pakistan welcomes peaceful dialogue if India approaches with "open hands." His peace overture follows heightened Indo-Pak tensions after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26. India responded by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and downgrading diplomatic ties. Bhutto's earlier remarks drew backlash, and social platform X has since suspended his account, citing inflammatory rhetoric. His statement signals a possible softening amid growing regional pressure.
