Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif accused India of using the "unfortunate" terror attack in Pahalgam to destablise regional peace through "unprovoked and reckless" hostility towards the country.

Speaking at the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) Summit in Azerbaijan, one of the nations that backed Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, Sharif again raised the Kashmir issue, condemning "barbaric acts" against innocent people in the Union Territory.

In the same breath, he also slammed the targeting of innocents in Gaza and Iran, in a veiled swipe at Israel.

"The unprovoked and reckless Indian hostility directed towards Pakistan after an unfortunate incident in Jammu and Kashmir was yet another attempt to destabilise regional peace," Sharif said.
