Asif said that building any structure on the Indus River would be seen as Indian aggression against Pakistan. Aggression is not just about firing cannons or bullets; it has many faces. One of those faces is [blocking or diverting water], which could lead to deaths due to hunger and thirst, he added. The defence minister said, If they make an
