Pakistan India Tensions (Credit: OpenAI)
Islamabad: A senior leader from Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s party has issued a sharp warning to India, claiming that Pakistan will respond forcefully if India attempts any military action against Bangladesh. The statement has added fresh tension to an already volatile regional environment.
Kamran Saeed Usmani, a leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), said that Pakistan’s army and people would stand firmly with Bangladesh if India tried to attack it. He accused India of exerting pressure on Bangladesh and alleged that New Delhi was trying to pit Muslims against Muslims in the region.

Usmani released a video in which the flags of Pakistan and Bangladesh were displayed together. In the message, he claimed he was speaking not as a politician, but as a voice representing Bangladesh’s “soil, history, sacrifices and courage.” He said Pakistan and Bangladesh were now standing together and rejected what he described as India’s “dominance” over the region.
The PML-N leader alleged that whenever a young Muslim voice rises in the region, it is deliberately suppressed. He accused Indian leaders of using tactics such as water pressure and internal divisions to weaken Bangladesh. According to him, these strategies have now been understood by the youth in both Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Escalating his rhetoric, Usmani warned that if any country tried to threaten Bangladesh’s sovereignty, Pakistan’s people, army and missile forces would respond. Referring to past India-Pakistan tensions, he claimed Pakistan was ready to repeat what he described as previous military responses. His remarks were seen as an explicit threat rather than diplomatic posturing.
The comments come at a time when South Asia is already facing fragile security dynamics. Pakistan’s attempt to project itself as Bangladesh’s protector has raised eyebrows, especially given the historical context in which Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan in 1971 with India’s support.
So far, India has not officially responded to Usmani’s remarks. Analysts say such statements are likely aimed at domestic audiences in Pakistan, but they also risk inflaming regional tensions. Observers warn that inflammatory rhetoric could further destabilise relations between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
While Bangladesh has not commented on the statement either, experts believe such aggressive narratives could complicate diplomatic engagement in the region. The episode underlines how quickly political statements can turn into strategic flashpoints in South Asia, where history, religion and geopolitics remain deeply intertwined.
