India on Thursday issued a stern warning to Pakistani leadership that any misadventure will produce painful consequences. Addressing the regular media briefing, spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal was reminded of the news in the week of Pakistan indulging in war-mongering against India. He continued, “Pakistan should go slow in rhetoric because any misadventure will bring very painful results, as it has done recently.”
He has also accused Pakistan of stirring up anti-India propaganda so as to cover up their own inabilities.
This followed a nuclear threat directed to India by the chief of the Pakistani army namely Asim Munir. When he went to the US he threatened to bring half the world to its knees as far as he was concerned in a quote meant to imply that India posed an existential threat to it. The statements were the initial nuclear threats that were to be ever uttered in a US soil to threaten a third party.
We are a nuclear state. It seems, he was reported as saying; If we reckon we are going down we are going to take half the world with us.
Munir had as well threatened to interfere with the infrastructure of India on the Indus water channels that could commence a blocking of water supply to Pakistan and that, the water supply is not the family property of the Indians. He further argued that the order by India to put the Indus Waters Treaty into abeyance following Pahalgam terror attack in April may force 250 million people to die of hunger.
We will wait until India puts a dam on Indus, and once it does that, phir das missile sey faarigh kar dengey [we will file 10 missiles]…The Indus is not the Indians family river… Humein kami nahin hai, missilon ki al-hamdulillah [we have no lack of missiles, Praise be to God], Munir is quoted as saying.
The former Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto also made a direct threat to India saying that the latter had inflicted a lot of harm to Pakistan and Pakistanis donned to become united against the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It has done tremendous harm to Pakistan as a result of the activities of Indian government under the leadership of Narendra Modi. We as a combined people must stand up against these aggressions and against PM Modi, said the lady as she addressed an event organised by the Culture Department of the government of Sindh, on Monday.
He also stated that there would be no other option other than to think of war in case India insists not to revive the Indus Water Treaty.
You (Pakistanis) can take back all those six rivers back through war as you people are strong enough. And, I think, India needs to move in this direction and then there will leave us only ways out, all outcomes of which are possible, including a war, to defend our national interests,” he stated.
He went on to claim Pakistan will not bow down and this would be a war that India will surely lose.
There started the war not us. Of course, when you consider executing an operation like Sindoor, you can have it as a given that the folk of the all provinces in Pakistan are all willing to fight you – and it is a struggle you will surely lose. We will not prostrate,” Bhutto threatened.
Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif too said that India would be taught lesson and would be left with holding ears provided the Indian Government continues not to have Indus water Treaty in force. Turning to the enemy, Sharif said, that he wanted to say today that, in order to intimidate holding our water, remember this, he could not take a single drop of Pakistan.
A recent ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration on the design norms of new run-of-river hydropower stations in India on the Western Rivers Chenab, Jhelum and Indus was hailed by Pakistan as vindicating its stand in the Indus Water Treaty, as accepted by India since the Pahalgam terror attack.
Nonetheless, acknowledging that statement by means of the press briefing, India made a statement that it never recognized the legality of the international court, its legitimacy and competence.
Then its pronouncements are clearly jurisdictionally improper, lack the status that can be described as legal and cannot be capable of affecting the rights of India to use the waters. India also denies categorically the selective and misleading Pakistan of use of references to the so called award. As stated in our press release of 27 June 2025, the Indus Waters Treaty is in abeyance as a sovereign decision of the Government of India, adopted because of Pakistan continuing its policy of sponsoring cross-border terrorism, which has taken the form of the brutal Pahalgam attack,” the Ministry further said.
