Missiles not for show, Pakistan ready to respond: Hanif Abbasi

Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi has issued a stern warning to India, saying that if India blocks Pakistan’s water in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty, it will have to be prepared for war.

Addressing a press conference in Rawalpindi, he said, “Ghori, Ghaznavi, and Shaheen missiles are not built for decoration at intersections; all our missiles are aimed at India.”

Hanif Abbasi said that the Pahalgam attack is an excuse; India’s real target is the Indus Waters Treaty, which guarantees Pakistan’s water rights.

He made it clear that if India suspends our water, we will stop its breathing. Do not try to intimidate Pakistan, because it is not a country to be afraid of.

Moreover, if India crosses the border, Pakistani forces are ready to respond forcefully, and any misadventure will have serious consequences.

The Railways Minister announced that Pakistan Railways has been placed under the full control of the armed forces. Whenever necessary, the Pakistani forces can use the railways for the delivery of weapons or for other purposes.

He stressed that Pakistan is a responsible nuclear power and its missiles are ready at all times for national defense.

Abbasi described India’s recent actions as an attempt to create instability in the region and said that India’s stubbornness and the tension at the Wagah or Attari border are not hidden from anyone.

He appealed to the international community to ensure compliance with the Indus Waters Treaty, as its violation would be dangerous for regional peace.
