Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif cautioned India on Thursday against overstepping the country's water red line, stating that Pakistan would respond directly if New Delhi fails to "come to the right path". Addressing the Yadgar-e-Fatah monument inauguration in Islamabad on the eve of Independence Day, Sharif expressed Pakistan's desire for regional peace and stability, but urged India not to mistake its restraint for weakness.
He emphasized that every drop of Pakistan's water is a red line and paid tribute to the armed forces for their success in Marka-e-Haq. Sharif highlighted the Yadgar-e-Fatah monument as a symbol of the Pakistani armed forces' strength and the nation's pride. He also mentioned Pakistan's role in mediating between the United States and Iran and hoped for strengthened Pakistan-US relations in the future.
Sharif referred to the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, noting that Turkey had joined the accord, calling it a symbol of peace and stability in the Middle East. He reiterated Pakistan's support for Palestinian rights and reiterated its unequivocal stance on Kashmir. President Asif Ali Zardari, Sharif, and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir jointly inaugurated the Yadgar-e-Fatah monument, with contingents from various armed forces and police forces from across Pakistan participating in the ceremony.
