US EditionPakistan Won’t Let India Weaponise Water, Says PM Shehbaz
- On May 31, 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spoke to military personnel during his visit to the Command and Staff College located in Quetta, reiterating Pakistan’s firm opposition to Indian hostilities.
- The speech followed a military confrontation triggered by the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists, and India's subsequent suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty as a unilateral measure.
- Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos in early May, retaliating against Indian military targets by downing six fighter jets and dozens of drones during an 87-hour war that ended on May 10 with a US-brokered ceasefire.
- Shehbaz Sharif emphasized Pakistan’s rejection of water weaponisation, warning that suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty would jeopardize millions and stating, “We will never allow the red line to be crossed.”
- The prime minister also urged developed countries to fulfill climate finance commitments and highlighted Pakistan's vulnerability to climate change, referencing the 2022 floods that killed 1,700 people and caused $30 billion in losses.
