In a fiery response to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent remarks on the Indus Waters Treaty, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi issued a stern warning, invoking India’s supersonic missile capability. “BrahMos hai humare paas,” Owaisi declared, emphasizing that threats from Pakistan would have no impact on India’s resolve.
Sharif had earlier stated that any attempt by India to block water flow into Pakistan would be met with a “decisive response,” calling water a lifeline and warning that “not even a single drop” would be allowed to be taken.
Owaisi’s Retort: “Enough Is Enough”
Reacting to Sharif’s speech in Islamabad, Owaisi told ANI, “He should not talk such nonsense… Such threats will have no effect on India. Enough is enough.” He also criticized Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, calling him a “sadakchaap aadmi” for issuing nuclear threats from U.S. soil.
Indus Waters Treaty in Abeyance
India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23, following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. The treaty, signed in 1960, allocates the Western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) to Pakistan and the Eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) to India. India receives 20% of the water, while Pakistan gets 80%.
Political Fallout and Strategic Messaging
Owaisi’s remarks reflect growing frustration within Indian political circles over Pakistan’s rhetoric. He urged the Modi government to respond politically, not just diplomatically, to threats from Islamabad. Actor-politician Mithun Chakraborty also weighed in, warning that continued provocation could trigger BrahMos missile strikes.
