Title: You can’t run Pakistan without US help & you’re trying to stare us down: Owaisi to Bhutto
The recent remarks made by Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari have sparked a heated debate in the political arena. In a tweet, Bhutto warned that “blood will flow” if Pakistan’s water needs are not met, specifically mentioning the Indus River and the tension between the two countries over the sharing of the river’s waters. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi did not take this threat lightly and responded by saying that Pakistan cannot run the country without the help of the United States and is trying to stare down India.
Owaisi’s remarks were made in response to Bhutto’s statement, in which he threatened that if Pakistan’s water needs are not met, “our water will flow…or their blood” will. Bhutto’s statement was seen as a veiled threat to India, as the Indus River is a shared water resource between the two countries. The threat was met with outrage from many, including Owaisi, who took to social media to express his displeasure.
Owaisi tweeted, “Unless US gives you something, you cannot run the country and you’re trying to stare us down.” He also added, “Terrorism killed [his mother]…If he doesn’t get that, what will you explain to him?” This was a clear reference to the assassination of Bhutto’s mother, Benazir Bhutto, in a terrorist attack in 2007.
It is clear that Bhutto’s statement was meant to provoke a reaction from India, and Owaisi’s response was a direct challenge to his claim. By saying that Pakistan cannot run the country without the help of the United States, Owaisi was highlighting the country’s dependence on foreign aid and military support. This is a sensitive topic for Pakistan, as the country has long struggled with economic instability and has relied heavily on foreign aid to support its military and economy.
Owaisi’s remarks were also seen as a warning to Bhutto and the Pakistani government not to threaten India or engage in any aggressive behavior. By saying that “unless US gives you something, you cannot run the country,” Owaisi was implying that Pakistan’s survival depends on the goodwill of the United States and that it cannot afford to antagonize India or any other country.
The Pahalgam attack, which killed 10 people including seven Indian paramilitary personnel, has further escalated the tensions between India and Pakistan. The attack was carried out by a group of terrorists, and the Indian government has accused Pakistan of supporting the terrorists. Bhutto’s statement has been seen as a attempt to justify Pakistan’s actions and to blame India for the tensions between the two countries.
In conclusion, the recent remarks made by Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari have sparked a heated debate in the political arena. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has responded by saying that Pakistan cannot run the country without the help of the United States and is trying to stare down India. Bhutto’s statement was seen as a veiled threat to India, and Owaisi’s response was a direct challenge to his claim. The Pahalgam attack has further escalated the tensions between India and Pakistan, and it remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved.
