While rejecting India’s allegations against Pakistan, Bilawal said: “If India has evidence, let them present it. We will take measures against the authors. But if they continue to target Sindhu, they should be prepared for an answer. ”

He criticized India’s accusations as a pretext to target the Indus river. He stressed that the PPP mission was to protect the river, declaring: “Our mission was to save Sindhu, and we saved it together.
