Look at what PM Modi said & wait for few days: Puri to Pak leader
In a sharp response to Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto’s recent provocative remark on India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday issued a warning to Pakistan, saying “look at what PM Narendra Modi said in Bihar…and wait for a few days.”
The statement comes after Bhutto, the chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party, had made a controversial remark that India’s decision to suspend the treaty was a “water or blood” issue, implying that if India took action against Pakistan, it would lead to a war.
However, Puri, the Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, was quick to respond, saying that India will not back down in the face of such threats. In an interview with a news channel, Puri said, “Look at what PM Narendra Modi said in Bihar…and wait for a few days. We will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers.”
Puri’s statement is a clear indication that India is not going to be intimidated by Pakistan’s aggressive posturing. The remarks by PM Modi, who had made a similar statement after the Pahalgam attack, were seen as a strong message to Pakistan that India will not tolerate any acts of terrorism on its soil.
The Pahalgam attack, which took place on June 24, saw three terrorists, who were believed to be from Pakistan, open fire on a group of Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, killing 15 people and injuring many others. The attack was widely condemned by the international community, and India has since been pressing Pakistan to take action against the perpetrators.
India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, which was signed in 1960 to manage the sharing of water resources between India and Pakistan, was seen as a strong response to Pakistan’s failure to take action against terrorism emanating from its soil.
The treaty, which has been in place for over 60 years, has been the subject of controversy in recent years, with India accusing Pakistan of violating its provisions. India has been seeking modifications to the treaty to ensure that Pakistan does not use the water resources for malicious purposes.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has been insisting that the treaty is a bilateral agreement and that India’s decision to suspend it is a unilateral action. Bhutto’s remarks, which were seen as a threat to India, were likely an attempt to pressure India into reversing its decision.
However, Puri’s statement has made it clear that India will not be intimidated by such threats. The Union Minister’s remarks have been seen as a strong message to Pakistan that India will not tolerate any acts of terrorism on its soil and will take all necessary measures to protect its citizens.
The standoff between India and Pakistan is likely to continue for some time, with both sides refusing to back down. However, India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty has sent a strong message to Pakistan that it will not tolerate any acts of terrorism on its soil.
In conclusion, Puri’s statement is a clear indication that India will not be intimidated by Pakistan’s aggressive posturing. The Union Minister’s remarks have been seen as a strong message to Pakistan that India will take all necessary measures to protect its citizens and will not tolerate any acts of terrorism on its soil.
