BrahMos Hai Humare Paas: Owaisi Slams Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharifs Water Threat

In a biting reply to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's recent threat in the context of the Indus Waters Treaty, AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi sent a stern message: "BrahMos hai humare paas (We have the BrahMos)." Owaisi told the Pakistani leader not to "talk such nonsense" and pointed out that such threats would be of no consequence to India.

The exchange came after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on Tuesday that "the enemy" (India) would not be able to snatch "even one drop" of Pakistan's water. Speaking during a ceremony in Islamabad, Sharif announced, "I want to make known to the enemy today that if you threaten to sieze our water, then keep in mind that you cannot grab even one drop of Pakistan." He went on to threaten that if India made such a try, "you will be once again taught such a lesson that you will be left holding your ears."

India had suspended the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23, 2025, as part of retaliatory actions following a tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, that left 26 dead. Pakistan has always claimed that any move to strangle its water flow would amount to an act of war.
