Look at what PM Modi said & wait for few days: Puri to Pak leader
The recent Pahalgam attack in which 10 civilians were killed and several others injured has sparked a fresh wave of tensions between India and Pakistan. The attack, which was claimed by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed, has led to a strong condemnation from the international community, including the United Nations.
In the aftermath of the attack, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has issued a stern warning to Pakistan, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on identifying, tracking, and punishing every terrorist and their backers should be heeded. Puri’s comments came in response to a provocative remark made by Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto, who had said that India would have to choose between “water or blood” if it continued to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.
Puri’s Warning
Puri’s statement was made at a press conference in which he reacted to Bhutto’s remarks. “Look at what PM Narendra Modi said in Bihar…and wait for a few days,” Puri said, hinting that the Indian government was planning to take strong action against Pakistan.
For those who may not be aware, PM Modi had said during his rally in Bihar that India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their backers after the Pahalgam attack. This statement was seen as a clear warning to Pakistan, indicating that India will not hesitate to take strong action if Pakistan continues to support terrorism.
Puri’s warning to Bhutto and Pakistan was clear: India will not be bullied or intimidated by Pakistan’s provocative statements. Instead, India will take decisive action to ensure that those responsible for the Pahalgam attack are brought to justice.
The Indus Waters Treaty
The Indus Waters Treaty is a landmark agreement between India and Pakistan that was signed in 1960. The treaty outlines the rules and regulations for the sharing of the waters of the Indus River and its tributaries. However, in recent years, the treaty has been a subject of controversy, with India alleging that Pakistan has been using the treaty to disrupt the flow of water to India’s Punjab region.
In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, citing Pakistan’s failure to fulfill its obligations under the treaty. Pakistan, however, has rejected India’s move, saying that it is an attempt to divert attention from India’s human rights violations in Kashmir.
Pakistan’s Provocative Statements
Bilawal Bhutto’s statement on choosing between “water or blood” was seen as a provocative remark that was intended to escalate tensions between India and Pakistan. Bhutto’s statement was seen as a clear threat to India, implying that Pakistan would rather fight a war over the Indus Waters Treaty than negotiate with India.
Pakistan’s government has a history of making provocative statements and taking aggressive actions against India. In recent years, Pakistan has been accused of supporting cross-border terrorism, including the use of its soil to launch attacks against India.
India’s Response
India’s response to Pakistan’s provocative statements has been stern and decisive. In addition to suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, India has also taken several other steps to strengthen its defense and security capabilities.
India has also been working to strengthen its diplomatic efforts, including seeking international support for its stand on Kashmir. The United States, the United Kingdom, and other European countries have all expressed support for India’s stance on Kashmir, saying that the situation in the region is a matter of internal concern for India.
Conclusion
The Pahalgam attack and the subsequent tensions between India and Pakistan have highlighted the need for stronger diplomatic efforts and a more decisive response to Pakistan’s provocative statements. Puri’s warning to Bhutto and Pakistan was clear: India will not be intimidated or bullied by Pakistan’s aggressive rhetoric.
Instead, India will take strong action to ensure that those responsible for the Pahalgam attack are brought to justice. The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty is a clear signal that India is willing to take decisive action to protect its interests and security.
As Puri said, “Look at what PM Narendra Modi said in Bihar…and wait for a few days.” India’s response to the Pahalgam attack will be decisive and strong, and Pakistan would do well to heed the warning.
