New Delhi [India], April 28 (ANI): BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Monday targeted former Union Minister and Congress leader Saifuddin Soz over his remarks on the Indus Waters Treaty and said that people like Soz, representing the true face of the Congress, are troubled by the government’s decision.
In a post on X, Thakur alleged that leaders like Saifuddin, who “shamelessly defend Pakistan”, accusing him of being sympathetic to a “rogue nation.”
“Pakistan is a habitual offender that takes delight in bleeding India and troubling the world by funding terrorism as its state policy; hence, it must be brought to task. The Narendra Modi government has taken a wise decision to suspend the Indus Water Treaty, sending a categorical message to Pakistan: don’t expect hospitality when you are hostile,” Anurag Thakur said.
“The entire nation has unequivocally supported the diplomatic measures taken by the Modi government, exercised with utmost restraint, to counter Pakistan and its terrorism. However, people like former Union Minister in the Congress-led UPA government, Saifuddin Soz, representing the true face of the Congress, are troubled by the government’s decision. Shamelessly defending Pakistan, their hearts bleed for a rogue nation,” he said.
The BJP MP further emphasised that India will not offer even a drop of water if Pakistan continues to carry out attacks like these.
“Let Pakistan and its Friends’ Club be very clear: India will not offer even a drop of water if you spill even a drop of our blood,” Thakur said on X.
Earlier today, Congress leader Saifuddin Soz said that India should not go that far, as the Indus Waters Treaty has worked well even during the wars.
“I don’t think that India should go that far. Because it is a treaty, it has worked well even during the wars. It offers an advantage to both India and Pakistan. What will we do with the water that is available? It will submerge Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir altogether. Water should flow down to the sea through its own course. I have a feeling we must not go that far,” he said.
He also termed the Pahalgam attack as “tragic”, calling every countryman to follow what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has adopted.
“What happened in the Pahalgam was tragic and unacceptable. Every Indian should adopt the line that the Prime Minister has adopted. If Pakistan says that it is not involved. Let us accept that argument for a time and we shall ultimately go by our investigating agencies, and they will know better…India and Pakistan are two neighbours. Neighbourhood cannot be changed whatever you do. Ultimately, what will prevail between India and Pakistan is the dialogue. Dialogue and discussion. No military solution, no arms, no sword. Nothing will work except word of mouth that is dialogue,” Saifuddin said.
The attack in Pahalgam is one of the deadliest attacks in the Valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike, in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India has taken strong measures against Pakistan for its support of cross-border terrorism. (ANI)
