PM Shahbaz Sharif: Despite suffering a crushing defeat in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan seems to be bound by its old habit. On one hand, India has given clear indications that if any action is taken, the response will be harsher than before, while on the other hand, Pakistan is still not giving up its war-like threats. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said in a recent statement that India is constantly threatening them - sometimes talking about bullets, sometimes about stopping water. Sharif said, "We signed the Indus Water Treaty in 1960, and every drop of the Indus river is the right of the people of Pakistan."Politics on Indus and concern about waterSharif's statement has come at a time when Prime Minister Modi in India had warned Pakistan in clear words - "Eat roti or else there is my bullet." The effect of this statement can be clearly seen in Pakistan. From Sharif to Bhutto, everyone seems to be rattled by Modi's words.Sharif also said in his speech, "India used to give threats earlier also, and this time it was given a taste of its power in Operation Sindoor. If any such action is taken again, India will be taught a lesson."Bilawal's helplessness in AmericaPakistan's former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also adopted a complaining tone about India in America. Speaking at the United Nations in New York, he called PM Modi's statements 'provocative' and appealed to the international community to intervene. Bilawal said, "Pakistan is ready for talks with India," but his 'readiness' actually seems more a sign of diplomatic compulsion and pressure.India's clear policy: Now action is the answerIndia has made it clear that now only talks or strong condemnation will not work. If Pakistan again does any nefarious act, the answer will not be just surgical but also decisive. Prime Minister Modi's 'bullet and water' statement has not only created panic in Pakistan, but has also shown that India is now following an aggressive policy, not a defensive one.Statements in frustration, but actually helplessnessThe recent statements of Pakistani leaders, whether it is Shahbaz Sharif's or Bilawal Bhutto's, make one thing clear—their fear of India's military and diplomatic power is real. The echo of Operation Sindoor has not yet died down and if Pakistan dares to do anything again, it is sure to get another harsh lesson.
