India would not allow Sindhu waters for terror sponsors, says Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday condemned Pakistan’s support for terrorism and said the NDA government would not allow the waters of the Sindhu river to reach those who sponsor it.

Addressing an ‘Intellectuals Meet’ organised in Hyderabad by Telangana BJP, he said that through Operation Sindoor, the government had shown the world that it knows how to respond to those who do not understand the language of peace and harmony-in their own language.

He criticised Congress and other opposition leaders for questioning Operation Sindoor and the bravery of soldiers, saying the government had stated it would stop the supply of grain and water to Pakistan if terror attacks were carried out against

“After the Pahalgam terror attack, by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, we said that those whose tears have dried up should not expect water from us. We will not let the waters of the Sindhu reach the patrons of terrorists and enemies of humanity,” he said.

Singh said India has emerged as a “trusted partner” in the world and has always helped countries that faced disasters.

Citing India’s assistance to several countries during the Covid-19 pandemic, he said the country is seen globally as a “vishwa bandhu” (friend of the world). However, he added that India’s enemies should not forget that the country has not only vaccines but also the BrahMos missile.
