ISLAMABAD: In an important meet after the premier returned home from the United States, the top civil and military leadership met on Wednesday and remained committed to the cause of Kashmir freedom despite growing tensions between Pakistan and India.

They agreed that Pakistan has a right to respond to any form of aggression after the Indian leadership said it was weighing muscular response against Pakistan in the wake of a recent terror attack on an Indian army base in the held Kashmir.

The meeting expressed satisfaction over the preparedness of the armed forces under the leadership of Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif to defend the territorial integrity of Pakistan and reviewed matters pertaining to national and regional security.

Referring to the endangered Indus Water Treaty, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that neither India nor Pakistan could unilaterally separate itself from the accord since it was mutually signed between the two in 1960and brokered by the World Bank.
