India-Pakistan Relations / Bilawal taunts Shah's comment, says- 'If India stops water, Pakistan will wage war'

India-Pakistan Relations: Pakistan never stops its nefarious activities. This country, which has been supporting terrorism for years, has now started talking in threatening language about international agreements as well. The latest case is of former Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who on Monday threatened India with war over the Indus Water Treaty.

Bilawal's objectionable comment

Speaking in the Pakistani Parliament, Bilawal said, "If India does not give Pakistan its fair share of water under the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), then Pakistan will move towards war." He also said that India has only two options—either share the water equally, or Pakistan will forcibly take the water of six rivers.

Bilawal also reacted sharply to India's decision to suspend the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. He said that this treaty is an international agreement and it cannot be suspended. He described India's move as against the United Nations Charter and said that stopping water is illegal.

Pakistan got agitated by Amit Shah's statement

Home Minister Amit Shah had recently said that India will never restore the Indus Water Treaty. This statement came after the terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam, Kashmir and in which Pakistani elements were found involved. Shah's announcement created a stir in Pakistan.

Amit Shah had made it clear that when Pakistan repeatedly plays with India's sovereignty and security, India cannot continue such one-sided agreements.

What is the reason for Pakistan's panic?

India's suspension of the Indus Water Treaty is a big blow to Pakistan. Under this treaty, India uses most of the water of its three rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej), while Pakistan has been getting a large share of Jhelum, Chenab and Indus. But now India has made it clear that until Pakistan stops terrorism, there is no justification for any such agreement.

Pakistan's threat and reality

Bilawal Bhutto's remarks show that Pakistan not only does not desist from its terrorist policies, but when any country opposes it, it tries to prove itself a victim by citing international laws.

India's stand is now more clear and firm than ever before-there will be no compromise on national security. Pakistan must understand that it is now facing a decisive and strong India, not the old India.

The way forward is through credibility and peace, not conflict and threats-if Pakistan really wants cooperation, it must first renounce terrorism.
