Lawmakers at the Senate Session continued discussion on recent escalation of hostilities by India and the swift, resolute, and effective response by Pakistan’s Armed Forces in defending the people, sovereignty, territorial integrity and dignity of Pakistan. 

Taking part in the discussion, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan wants peace in the region but it will not accept any hegemonic designs and breach of its sovereignty.

Ishaq Dar said the armed forces have successfully countered India's hegemonic designs in the region.

He noted that the Pakistan Air Force shot down six Indian fighter jets without any loss to its own aircraft and confirmed that all eighty Indian drones had been neutralized.

Ishaq Dar emphasized that Pakistan has never requested a ceasefire from anyone.

He said it is a great success of Pakistan that the international community did not buy India’s narrative.

He further said that, with the blessings of Allah Almighty, Pakistan has dispelled the myth of any ‘new norm.’

The Deputy Prime Minister stressed that the Indus Water Treaty is a non-negotiable matter for Pakistan, adding that India cannot unilaterally suspend the treaty.

Taking the floor, Senator Sherry Rehman said the armed forces of Pakistan have set a new history by establishing new conventional deterrence against India.

Syed Shibli Faraz said Pakistan has established its defense capabilities, particularly by setting a new standard in air warfare.

The Senate passed “The Nexus International University of Health Emerging Sciences and Technologies, Islamabad Bill, 2025.”

The Bill, moved by Senator Nasir Mehmood, is aimed at establishment of the Nexus International University of Health Emerging Sciences and Technologies, Islamabad.
