Robin Raphael Supports Pakistan's Proposal for Impartial Investigation into Pahalgam Attack

In a recent interview on Geo News’ Capital Talk program, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for South Asia, Robin Raphael, expressed her support for Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s call for an impartial investigation into the deadly Pahalgam attack. She emphasized that accusations made hastily, just minutes after the incident, were highly inappropriate and that a thorough investigation conducted by impartial experts was the right course of action.

Speaking to Hamid Mir from Harvard University, Raphael stressed the importance of not jumping to conclusions before gathering all facts. "Blaming someone just five minutes after the incident is highly inappropriate. It’s crucial to have a fair and neutral investigation," she said.

Her remarks come in the wake of growing tensions between Pakistan and India, following the attack in Pahalgam, which has resulted in an increase in diplomatic strain. Raphael emphasized that the international community must play a proactive role in de-escalating the situation, urging global powers to intervene and work towards calming tensions between the two nations.

International Role in Reducing Tensions

Raphael pointed out the urgent need for the international community to act swiftly and decisively. "The international community should play an immediate role in reducing the recent Pakistan-India tensions," she said, underlining the responsibility of global players to help maintain peace in the region.

Her comments reflect the broader concern about the growing volatility in South Asia and the possibility of further escalation if the situation is not managed carefully. With Pakistan and India both being nuclear-armed nations, the stakes are high, and the potential for conflict remains a serious global concern.

Conclusion

As tensions continue to rise between Pakistan and India, Robin Raphael’s call for an impartial investigation and international involvement serves as a timely reminder of the importance of diplomacy and measured responses in conflict situations. The need for calm, transparency, and neutral analysis has never been more critical to ensure that further escalation is avoided.
