Upon taking the stage, he started praising Army Chief Asim Munir while referring to failed memoranda of understanding. Sharif's speech was once again marked by anti-India rhetoric and familiar geopolitical posturing.
Praise for Asim Munir and Operation Sindoor
During his address, the mention of Operation Sindoor surfaced once again as Sharif showered praise on Asim Munir for fabricated claims of victory. An underlying sense of apprehension was clearly visible throughout his remarks. Sharif also thanked Donald Trump repeatedly, a gesture he has made numerous times before.
Kashmir Rant and Indus Water Treaty Warning
Utilizing the international forum, Sharif resorted to reviving the Kashmir rhetoric. Furthermore, he raised concerns regarding the Indus Water Treaty, warning India that any move would be considered an act of war and urging caution. This statement has once again brought water-sharing tensions and diplomatic friction to the forefront.
