ISLAMABAD, May 28 (Alliance News): Pakistan on Wednesday strongly condemned what it called “another inflammatory monologue” by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging India to show restraint, respect international norms, and uphold its treaty obligations.
In a sharply-worded statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan criticized Modi’s recent speech in Gandhinagar, in which he questioned the provisions of the Indus Waters Treaty and claimed Pakistan was “sweating profusely” even though the treaty had only been “put on hold.”
Terming the remarks as a “troubling departure from international norms,” Pakistan said Modi’s comments reflect India’s growing disregard for responsible regional conduct.
“It is regrettable, though not entirely unexpected, that the Indian Prime Minister has once again overlooked internal repression of minorities and the project of historical revisionism to deliver yet another inflammatory monologue,” the Foreign Office said.
The statement stressed that weaponizing water — a shared and treaty-bound resource — contradicts India’s global ambitions and undermines peace in the region.
Highlighting India’s actions in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Pakistan accused New Delhi of systematic repression, foreign subversion, and links to extraterritorial assassinations.
“The ideological followers of India’s current government have normalized mob violence, promoted hate campaigns, and targeted religious minorities,” it added, calling into question India’s image as a responsible power.
Pakistan urged the Indian leadership to cleanse its conscience and refrain from issuing threats. It emphasized that long-term regional peace requires dignity, cooperation, and adherence to international commitments.
The statement concluded by calling on Indian youth to reject chauvinistic nationalism and instead pursue regional harmony and a future based on reason and mutual respect.
