Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has warned India over the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty in line with his country’s rage over the diplomatic strikes New Delhi launched on Islamabad after the Pahalgam terror attack, media reports said.
“Modi has accused Pakistan of the terror attack to hide his own faults and fool his countrymen. Modi has unilaterally suspended the Indus Waters Treaty through which India had conceded that Indus is Pakistan’s. Modi has now decided to break the agreement,” said Bilawal.
“I want to tell India that Indus is ours and will remain ours. Either our water will flow through it or their blood.”
“Wherever Modi goes, he claims India is the heir of 1000-year-old Indus Valley Civilisation which lies in Pakistan’s Larkana and Mohenjo Daro is the proof. We are the true heirs of it and we will defend it,” he added.
‘Pakistan will pay a heavy price’
In response to Bilawal’s remarks, India’s Union Minister Piyush Goyal said, “Pakistan is a hopeless country whose only priority is terrorism. It’s unfortunate for any country to have such a political leader who only creates damage to their nation. I strongly condemn the remark. I fully believe that even people of Pakistan do not agree with such remarks.”
BJP leader Hardeep Puri said, “There should be no misconception that what has happened in Pahalgam is a terrorist attack. Pakistan will have to pay a very heavy price, and it’s just the beginning… I think Pakistan is not just a rogue state, it is a country in terminal decline. It has been a foolish statement (by Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari).”
Twenty-six tourists including 23 Hindus died after terrorists identified them as non-Muslims and gunned them down in Baisaran meadows, a popular destination in Pahalgam on April 22.
