In a powerful speech at the Senate, Opposition Leader Shibli Faraz said that if a single patriotic voice is given five minutes on national media, a crore Pakistanis would gather at Minar-e-Pakistan to send a strong message to India.
Addressing the Senate, PTI's Parliamentary Leader Shibli Faraz stressed that the current situation demands national unity rather than political point-scoring.
"This is the time for the government to release all political prisoners and put an end to internal differences," Faraz emphasised.
He criticised the Indian media and social media for their persistent anti-Pakistan narrative, accusing them of trying to exploit Pakistan's internal challenges. "Despite their hopes to divide us by targeting our economy and federation, we will respond united," he asserted.
Highlighting the growing frustration among the people, Shibli Faraz remarked, "Right now, different ethnic groups are busy with their own issues. But if one passionate individual is allowed five minutes to address the nation, a million people would gather at Minar-e-Pakistan."
Faraz also slammed the government's "homeopathic" responses to Indian aggression, saying India doesn't understand weak statements.
"We must lead this country towards real democracy, not cosmetic solutions," he said.
Following Shibli Faraz’s speech, PML-N Senator Irfan Siddiqui took the floor and emphasised that India’s propaganda campaign had failed internationally.
"The global community has rejected India's false claims regarding the Pahalgam incident," Siddiqui noted.
He criticised India for blaming Pakistan without evidence, highlighting that accusations were made even before proper investigations.
"The FIR was lodged first, and the incident seemed to happen later," Siddiqui quipped, questioning how attackers could cross the heavily guarded Line of Control.
Senator Siddiqui warned India against attempting to unilaterally pull out of the Indus Waters Treaty, a World Bank-brokered agreement.
"You cannot cut off Pakistan’s water supply and expect no consequences. Turning Pakistan into Karbala is not an option," he declared.
He urged the government not to treat the water issue lightly, calling for serious preparedness.
Turning his focus to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Siddiqui described him as "the butcher of Gujarat", trained under the extremist RSS ideology.
He condemned India's brutal actions in Kashmir, citing 90,000 martyrs, 900,000 occupying troops, and the ongoing demographic changes through illegal land seizures.
"India has turned Kashmir into a graveyard and now wants to threaten Pakistan with water wars," Siddiqui warned.
Both senators sent a united message: Pakistan will not sit quietly in the face of Indian aggression—whether on the diplomatic front, the water issue, or direct threats to its sovereignty.
As tensions escalate, Pakistan’s political leaders are calling for an end to internal divisions and a collective, robust defence against any hostile move from across the border.
