The Senate of Pakistan on Friday unanimously passed a resolution affirming that any hostile action by India will be met with a firm, swift, and decisive response.
The resolution, tabled by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity against all forms of aggression, including “water terrorism” and military provocations.
The resolution reiterated that while Pakistan and its people remain committed to regional peace, the nation will not tolerate any violation of its sovereignty, security, or national interests. It underscored Pakistan’s full preparedness and capability to respond effectively to any threats or misadventures.
The Senate also strongly condemned what it described as a “malicious and orchestrated campaign” by the Indian government to malign Pakistan. The resolution criticized New Delhi’s consistent pattern of leveraging terrorism-related narratives to serve narrow political agendas.
Furthermore, the Senate denounced India’s unilateral decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty—calling it a blatant violation of international law and a provocative act that could be construed as an act of war. The treaty, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, has long been regarded as a critical mechanism for regional stability, surviving numerous periods of tension between the two countries.
India’s recent actions, taken in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, have further escalated bilateral tensions, with Pakistan warning that such unilateral and hostile moves could have far-reaching consequences for peace and security in the region.
