Shehbaz Sharif Warns India that any move to cut off Pakistan’s water in breach of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) will face a strong and immediate response.
Sharif said that water is essential for Pakistan and promised the country will protect its rights under international agreements without giving them up. Moreover, he reminded the audience of Pakistan’s military success on May 10, when the Pakistan Air Force downed six Indian fighter jets—an event he described as a historic moment that “sank India’s pride.”

The warning comes amid heightened tensions following India’s suspension of IWT engagements after accusing Pakistan of backing an April attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir—an allegation Islamabad strongly rejects. Furthermore, the May clashes marked some of the fiercest fighting between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in decades before a US-brokered ceasefire took hold.
