'India's water will be used only in India's interests', says PM Modi after India suspends Indus Waters Treaty with Pak

In a strong message to Pakistan after suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said India's water will be used only in India's interests. He said earlier even the water which rightfully belonged to India went outside the country but it will now flow for India's benefit and will be utilised for the country.

"Earlier, even the water which rightfully belonged to India was going outside the country. Now India's water will flow for the country's interest and will be useful for it," he said in an apparent



reference to India putting Indus Water Treaty in abeyance as part of countermeasures against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack.

While addressing the ABP Network's 'India@2047' Summit, PM Modi asserted that for taking big decisions and achieving objectives, it is important to give primacy to national interest and believe in the country's capability.

“A discussion is going on in media over water issue (referring to Indus-Water Treaty)… ‘Bharat ke haq ka paani, Bharat ke haq mein bahega.” he said.
