India Vs Pakistan: Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, while speaking to news agency ANI in Mohali on Saturday, reacted to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's 'your blood will flow in Indus remark', saying tell him to jump somewhere into the water.

"I heard his statement. Tell him to jump somewhere into the water. Well, how will he, when there will be no water... Do not dignify such statements. They will get to understand that," he said.

On the reported throat-slitting gesture of Colonel Taimur Rahat, the Pakistan Army and Air Advisor at their High Commission in London, Puri said, "This is state-sponsored terrorism. We have reached a point where they will have to pay a price. If they (Pakistan) think that they can survive the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, I wish them best of luck."

The Pahalgam incident is unequivocally a cross-border terrorist attack unleashed by a neighbouring state and they are taking responsibility and unlike before, no business will continue, he added.

Like PM Modi said, Pakistan will have to pay a heavy price and this is just the beginning, he asserted, adding the terrorists take away the most fundamental right to life. "This is being condemned by the entire world. Pakistan is not just a rogue state, it is a country in terminal decline..," Puri said.

 

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's Provocative Statement

Earlier on Friday, following India's move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, Bilawal resorted to empty rhetoric in a speech during a public rally in Sukkur. He asserted that just as the PPP did not approve a controversial canal project without consensus, Pakistanis will stand united and give a resounding response to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aggression on the Indus River.

The PPP chairman said, "The brave people of Sukkur have sent a clear message by participating in the rally that we will not allow anyone to bargain over the Indus. The Modi government is unilaterally suspending the Indus Water Treaty but I want to stand by the Indus River in Sukkur and give a clear message to India that the Indus River is ours and will remain ours, either our water will flow from this Indus or your blood."
