Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced readiness for composite dialogue with India on all outstanding issues including Kashmir, emphasizing Pakistan "will not beg for talks." This follows recent escalations after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack killing 26 tourists, where terrorists targeted the scenic Baisaran meadow for maximum impact. India responded with Operation Sindoor precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK on May 7. Pakistan attempted retaliatory attacks on Indian military bases May 8-10, prompting fierce Indian counter-strikes. Both nations reached understanding to end four-day cross-border conflict on May 10. India maintains dialogue will only address Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and terrorism issues, not broader composite framework launched in 2003 but derailed after 2008 Mumbai attacks. (PC: AP)
