Statement by Haqooq e Khalq party (HKP) on escalating tensions between Pakistan and India [May 7, 2025]

Haqooq e Khalq party (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
