ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has conveyed Pakistan’s grave concerns over recent Indian hostilities during a meeting with a top US diplomat, warning that any acts of aggression by India could prompt a strong and proportionate response.
Speaking candidly, the premier emphasized that Pakistan reserves the right to exercise self-defence in accordance with international law, should the country’s sovereignty be threatened. The statement follows a surge of public anger in Pakistan over what is being described as “acts of war” committed by India, escalating already tense bilateral relations.
“India’s belligerent behavior and provocative actions cannot go unchecked,” Shehbaz said, underscoring that regional peace is at risk due to repeated violations and hostile rhetoric emanating from New Delhi.
The Prime Minister called on the United States to play a constructive role in promoting regional stability, urging Washington to take note of the evolving situation. Diplomatic sources confirm that Islamabad has briefed international stakeholders on what it views as escalating Indian militarism.
This development marks a critical moment in South Asian geopolitics, as both nuclear-armed neighbors continue to engage in a war of words, drawing global concern over potential conflict escalation.
