She asserted that this assumption is a grave miscalculation.
Bokhari added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his supporters should remember Pakistan’s past actions in dispelling India’s misconceptions and its resolve to safeguard national interests. She emphasized that the Indus River is vital for Pakistan’s agriculture, economy, and survival, and any aggression against its water resources or violation of the treaty would be a direct challenge to Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Pakistan Army’s top leadership has affirmed its commitment to protect the country’s water rights amid tensions with India over the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). The declaration was made during the 276th Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) held at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi on Monday, chaired by Field Marshal Asim Munir.
According to a statement from Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the forum noted the “Indian rhetoric surrounding the Indus Waters Treaty” and expressed a “resolute commitment to undertake all measures necessary to ensure availability of Pakistan’s rightful share of water.” The military leadership reaffirmed the guidance given in a National Security Committee (NSC) directive from April 24, 2025.
The conference also reviewed the country’s security environment and operational preparedness. Participants condemned human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and voiced serious concern over the alleged use of Afghan territory by militant groups to carry out attacks inside Pakistan.
