Pakistan has asked its ministers to refrain from speaking out of turn over India’s downgrading of diplomatic ties in view of cross-border links to the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives on April 22.

According to sources, the Pakistan government has told its ministers not to make incendiary statements as the top establishment feels the atmosphere is already tense.

The sources told CNN-News18 that the top establishment does not want any kind of escalation due to incendiary speeches by any leader or minister. They are worried that this will not be good for both the countries and, especially so Pakistan, which is struggling financially.

CNN-News18 had reported that ruling party leader Nawaz Sharif asked his brother and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to work out a diplomatic solution with India. He wants to solve the tension between Indiaand Pakistan.

Nawaz Sharif wants an amicable solution to the crisis within a democratic environment. He wants Shehbaz Sharif to take the diplomatic route when it comes to solving this issue.

Sources close to Nawaz said he wants both countries to come closer. He wants to understand what kind of “non-state actors" are doing this, and feels that they should be stopped immediately.

On Sunday (April 27), he met Shehbaz in Lahore and suggested that he should find a peaceful solution with India and avoid anti-India rhetoric.
