Pakistan Peoples party (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari stated that his nation was the real steward of the Indus civilization and cautioned india that "either our water or their blood will flow through it" in an indication that the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty had angered Pakistan.
 
"We own the Indus and will continue to do so.  At a public gathering on Friday, Bhutto heightened tensions between india and pakistan in the wake of the pahalgam terror assault by declaring, "Either our water will flow through it, or their blood will." Following years of talks, the treaty was signed in september 1960 and regulates the use and distribution of the waters of six rivers in the Indus basin between india and Pakistan.  Since the deal supplies water for 80% of Pakistan's agricultural area, its suspension would have enormous long-term effects.

Bhutto pointed his guns at prime minister Narendra Modi, saying that his "warmongering" and attempt to reroute the Indus waters would not be accepted by pakistan or the world community.
 
"Modi claims that they are descended from a civilization that dates back thousands of years, but that civilization is located in Mohenjo Daro, Larkana.  We will protect it because we are its real stewards," Bhutto declared.
 
In actuality, the Indus Valley civilization spanned most of western india as well as present-day Pakistan.
 
Following PM Modi's stirring speech at a rally in bihar earlier this week, Bhutto is the second Pakistani leader to criticize him, following defense minister Khawaja Asif.

PM Modi has promised to "identify, track, and punish" all terrorists and their supporters and to "pursue them to the ends of the earth" in a firm message to Pakistan.
 
Bhutto, a former foreign minister of pakistan, claimed that although india was blaming the terror assault to hide the shortcomings of its own government, pakistan had already denounced the incident, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists.
 
"India is unlawfully abrogating the treaty under which it had acknowledged that the Indus belongs to pakistan," he added.
