ISLAMABAD, April 25:— Bilawal Bhutto, former Pakistani Foreign Minister, has escalated tensions with India by issuing a provocative statement concerning the Indus Waters Treaty. Bhutto’s remarks, which suggest a violent confrontation over water rights, have drawn sharp reactions.
“Ya hamara paani Sindh mein Bahega, Ya Unka Khoon” (Either our water will flow in Sindh (Indus) river, or blood of Indians), Bhutto stated, according to reports.
This statement directly links the distribution of Indus River water to potential bloodshed.
Bhutto’s comments come at a time of heightened sensitivity regarding the Indus Waters Treaty, a long-standing agreement between India and Pakistan that governs the distribution of the Indus River system.
Recent developments and statements from the Indian government regarding the treaty have created a tense situation between the two nations.
The Indus Waters Treaty is a critical agreement for both countries, as the Indus River system is a vital water source.
