The Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) supported the resolution, moved by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, which stated that Pakistan remains fully capable and prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity against any aggression including water terrorism or military provocation.

The Senate emphasised that the killing of innocent civilians is contrary to the values upheld by Pakistan, according to the resolution. It also "rejects all frivolous and baseless attempts to link Pakistan with the Pahalgam Attack of 22nd April 2025 in Jammu and Kashmir."

The Senate condemned "the orchestrated and mala fide campaign by the Indian government to malign Pakistan, which follows a familiar pattern of exploiting the issue of terrorism for a narrow political goal."

It also condemned "India's unlawful and unilateral declaration to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance in blatant violation of the Treaty which clearly amounts to an act of war."
