ISLAMABAD by Iftikhar Khattak..Chairman Pakistan Tehreek Shadbad dr Hanif Mughal said Pakistanis will stand united and give a resounding response to the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aggression on the Indus River.
Condemning India’s unilateral decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), he issued a stern warning to New Delhi, saying: “The Indus is ours and will remain ours — either our water will flow through it, or their blood.”
He said a terrorist incident took place in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K), which New Delhi falsely blamed on Pakistan.
He reiterated that Pakistan strongly condemned terrorism, being the country most affected by it.
He said in an attempt to hide his own failures, Modi levelled false accusations against Pakistan concerning the incident in IIOJK, and subsequently announced the unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
“The people of Pakistan are brave — we will stand up to India with full force, and our armed forces will give a befitting response at the borders.”
He further said it was unacceptable for India to simply decide one day it no longer recognised the Indus Waters Treaty and expected that to become a reality.
“Such a decision will neither be accepted at the international level nor by the people of Pakistan.”
He urged the nation to unite in this difficult time and give a befitting response to India, which currently has set its eyes maliciously on the Indus.
He said the struggle to protect the river will continue until India withdraws its unilateral decision. He affirmed that the Pakistan Tehreek Shadbad stood with Prime Minister Shehbaz on the issue of India.
