Modi: Pakistan will not get even a drop of water from India

This statement follows the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty after a terrorist attack on April 22 in Kashmir.

Addressing a public gathering in Dausa, Rajasthan, Modi reiterated that Pakistan will be denied water from Indian rivers and warned that if Pakistan continues to “export terrorism,” it will have to “beg for every penny.”

Referring to the April 22 terrorist attack in the Baisaran area near Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed 26 people, Modi announced that India has decided to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.

He added: “Playing with the blood of Indian people will cost Pakistan dearly. This is the resolve of the Indian nation, and no one in the world can stop us from this decision.”

The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960 with World Bank mediation, regulates the distribution of water from the Indus River and its tributaries between India and Pakistan. Under the treaty, India controls the three eastern rivers (Beas, Ravi, and Sutlej), while Pakistan controls the three western rivers (Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum).

Following the treaty’s suspension, India has taken steps such as halting water flow from the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River as a “short-term punitive measure.”
