Veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty has given a strong reaction to the recent warning issued by Pakistan's former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Speaking in Kolkata on Tuesday, Mithun said, "Agar aisi baatein karte rahenge aur humari khopdi sanak gayi toh phir ek ke baad ek BrahMos chalega." (If such statements keep being made and our intelligence agency loses its patience, then BrahMos missiles will be launched one after another.)

His remark was aimed at Pakistan's threats to India, particularly over the issue of the Indus Waters Treaty. Without directly naming Pakistan, Mithun sarcastically added, "We have also thought about building a dam where 1.4 billion people will urinate. After that, we will open the dam, and a tsunami will come."

However, he clarified that his remark was not directed at the people of Pakistan but specifically at Bilawal Bhutto's statement. Bilawal Bhutto's warning came during an event organised by the Sindh Government's Department of Culture, where he described the diversion of Indus River water as an attack on Pakistan's culture and civilisation.

He also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's water projects on the Indus River posed a threat to Pakistan's water security. Linking this to what he claimed was India's military defeat in May, Bilawal warned that if Pakistan was not given Indus River water, there could be a war.

"If you think of carrying out such an attack towards the Indus, then the people of every province of Pakistan are ready to confront you, and this is a war you will surely lose," Bhutto had said.

Bilawal's remarks came after Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir issued a fresh nuclear threat to India. He stated that if Pakistan's existence was threatened, it could use its nuclear arsenal, and if India diverted the flow of water away from Pakistan, it would destroy India's infrastructure.

Responding to this, the Ministry of External Affairs said Pakistan's new nuclear threat raised questions over the credibility of its nuclear command and control, and made it clear that India would not yield to any nuclear blackmail. The ministry also reiterated that India would safeguard its national security.
