Look at what PM Modi said & wait for few days: Puri to Pak leader
In a stern warning to Pakistan, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has reacted to Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto’s provocative remark on India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty over the Pahalgam attack. Puri’s warning comes amidst escalating tensions between the two countries.
Bilawal Bhutto, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), had said that India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty was a “Water-Or-Blood” issue, implying that the country was ready to go to war over the treaty. This remark was met with swift condemnation from India, with Puri issuing a warning to Pakistan.
In a statement, Puri said, “Look at what PM Narendra Modi said in Bihar…and wait for a few days.” This was seen as a veiled threat, indicating that India was prepared to take strong action against Pakistan if it continued to support terrorism.
Notably, PM Modi had said earlier that India would identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers after the Pahalgam attack. This statement was seen as a clear warning to Pakistan, which has been accused of supporting terrorism and sponsoring militant groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Pahalgam attack, which took place on October 1, saw a group of terrorists open fire on a bus carrying Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, killing 10 people and injuring several others. The attack was widely condemned by political leaders and civil society groups across India.
Pakistan’s response to the attack has been seen as lukewarm, with the country’s Prime Minister Imran Khan saying that India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty was “unfortunate”. This has led to widespread criticism of Pakistan’s response, with many accusing the country of not doing enough to tackle terrorism.
India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty was seen as a major escalation in the country’s response to Pakistan-backed terrorism. The treaty, which was signed in 1960, regulates the flow of water between India and Pakistan. India’s decision to suspend the treaty is seen as a major blow to Pakistan, which relies heavily on the flow of water from Indian rivers to irrigate its crops and generate electricity.
The suspension of the treaty has been seen as a major victory for India, which has long accused Pakistan of violating the treaty and using the water flow to support its militant groups. India has also accused Pakistan of not doing enough to prevent the flow of water from being diverted to support terrorism.
Pakistan has responded to India’s decision by saying that it is “unconstitutional” and “unilateral”. However, India has maintained that the decision was taken in response to Pakistan’s failure to comply with the treaty and its continued support for terrorism.
The escalating tensions between India and Pakistan have raised concerns about the stability of the region. The two countries have a long history of conflict, and the current situation is seen as a major threat to regional stability.
In conclusion, Puri’s warning to Pakistan should be seen as a serious message, indicating that India is prepared to take strong action against Pakistan if it continues to support terrorism. The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty is a major escalation in India’s response to Pakistan-backed terrorism, and Pakistan’s failure to comply with the treaty and its continued support for terrorism will only lead to further tensions.
It is hoped that Pakistan will take Puri’s warning seriously and take steps to address India’s concerns about terrorism and the Indus Waters Treaty. However, given Pakistan’s history of supporting terrorism and violating international agreements, it is unclear whether the country will take concrete action to address India’s concerns.
