Earlier this year, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty after the heinous April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, and now the Modi government has devised a long-term strategy that will make Pakistan yearn for every single drop of water in the coming future.
Indus Waters Treaty: In a stern response to Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s recent war threats over the Indus Waters Treaty, Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil Thursday stated that India is not scared of empty threats or aggressive statements. “The water won’t go anywhere… What he says is his own opinion… We are not afraid of false threats,” the Minister told reporters at a press briefing on the 11 years of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government.
“Earlier, Bilawal Bhutto also had threatened that if water won’t flow, blood will flow. I want to say that we won’t be intimidated by such threats. Hum aisi gidar dhamkiyon se nahi darte (We are not afraid of such hollow threats),” Patil said.

Modi government plans to divert water meant for Pakistan
Meanwhile, a report by news agency ANI, citing sources, said that the Narendra Modi government has taken a decision to divert water meant for Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty for use in four Indian states, Rajasthan, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi.
The Jal Shakti Ministry is working on infrastructure development at a war-footing level to implement this decision, to ensure not a single drop of water meant for Pakistan goes to waste, and is instead utilised to meet the water needs of the above mentioned four states, which will benefit from the diverted water, addressing their water shortages, the report said.
This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that “Desh ka pani desh ke haq me bahega (“India’s water will flow in India’s favour”)”. The Jal Shakti Ministry has been working towards this goal under the guidance and supervision of Home Minister Amit Shah.

Patil’s response came after Pakistan Peoples Party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari threatened that Pakistan would go to war with India if New Delhi refuses to accept the Indus Water Treaty. “If India refuses to accept the Indus Water Treaty, then Pakistan will take water from all six rivers. India should restore the Indus Waters Treaty or get ready for a war.” he threatened.
The Pakistani leader’s threatening remarks came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the Indus Water Treaty will never be restored.
