Statement from the Haqooq Khalq Party (HKP) of Pakistan.

HKP strongly condemns the missile strikes launched by India across nine locations in Pakistan, killing and injuring dozens of civilians.

We decry the loss of innocent lives in this deadly and dangerous escalation in hostilities and call upon both states to exercise restraint and immediately stop any actions that could harm ordinary people on both sides and threaten nuclear war.

While both countries bear responsibility for proxy warfare, the Modi regime has clearly instrumentalized the Pahalgam tragedy to divert from failures in Kashmir, boost domestic popularity, and advance strategic goals regarding the Indus River system and regional hegemony.

We urge Pakistan to uphold international humanitarian law when protecting its people against aggression, rather than mimic India’s senseless aggression against civilians.

Continuing the war will only result in more loss of lives. We demand an independent inquiry into the Pahalgam attack to establish facts and accountability.

A durable peace requires respecting sovereignty, ending proxy warfare, and demilitarizing Kashmir.

We call on Pakistan’s government to restore communication platforms, release political prisoners, and enable free flow of information during this crisis.

Any war between nuclear-armed nations would be catastrophic regionally and globally. Progressive forces throughout South Asia must unite against war hysteria and work toward a peaceful future.
