Bilawal says Indus water Treaty is a lifeline for millions
PPP Chairman has declared India a Terrorist Nation
Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardrai has declared India a ‘terrorist’s nation’ , Bliawal on Tuesday termed the suspension of the Indus Treaty by India as a “ crime against humanity.”
Speaking in the National Assembly following India’s accusations against Pakistan over the recent Pahalgam incident — which Islamabad has dismissed as a “false flag operation” — Mr Bhutto-Zardari strongly condemned what he called India’s “irresponsible conduct” and urged the international community to take note.
The PPP chairman said that India was attempting to punish Pakistan for a crime ‘that occurred within its own borders’ and for which no credible evidence has been presented.
‘The Indus Water Treaty is not just a bilateral agreement. Is a lifeline for millions, Threatening food security and livihoods for political point – scoring is not just short=singed –it is inhumane,’
former Foreign Minister Bilawal, reiterated that Pakistan has made it clear to the world, including India, that it has no involvement in the recent Pahalgam incident. He added that India was shifting the blame for its own incompetence onto Pakistan.
“Pakistan does not bow down,” Bilawal remarked. “Our nation was founded through struggle, and the Pakistani people’s struggle will continue. A bloodbath is being unleashed in occupied Kashmir, where India’s state-sponsored terrorism is at its peak. India must stop its atrocities against Kashmiris.”
Bilawal further asserted that India’s allegations against Pakistan in connection with the Pahalgam incident, along with threats, are unfounded. “I want to make it clear to the world that Pakistan had no involvement in the Pahalgam incident. Pakistan is the most affected by terrorism. We have condemned all forms of terrorism, and we ourselves are victims of it,” he said.
The PPP Chairman further said that Pakistan has shown the world that India is a “terrorist nation,” presenting evidence of Indian-backed terrorism across countries such as Sri Lanka and Canada. He accused the Indian government of acting irresponsibly.
During his address, Bilawal also affirmed that Pakistan’s armed forces are on high alert to defend the country, stating, “India must remember that the Pakistani nation will never bow to anyone. It must choose between dialogue or destruction.” He warned India that any aggression would be met with a strong response from Pakistan’s military, with the full support of the nation.
Bilawal Bhutto concluded by reaffirming the unity of the Pakistani peoples, ‘Whether Sindhi, Punjabi, Pushtun, Baloch or Kashmiri, we are all Pakistanis. We will respond as one, with a unified heart, mind and fist.’
In a scathing indictment of Indian policy in Kashmir, the PPP chairman accused New Delhi of hypocrisy: “How can a state that commits daily violations in the occupied valley claim to fight terrorism? When your hands are stained with the tears of Kashmiri mothers, the cries of orphaned children, and the silence of lifeless men, moral superiority cannot be claimed.”
He said Pakistan had long borne the brunt of externally funded ideological terrorism, often standing alone with its wounds ignored by the international community.
Mr Bhutto-Zardari asserted that tanks and bullets would not defeat terrorism; only justice, hope, and political solutions could root it out.
“If India wants peace in Kashmir, it must stop viewing dissent as a threat. Let the people speak. Give them the vote, not vengeance. Stabilise, don’t demolish. Empower, don’t suppress,” he said, adding that Kashmir remains an “unhealed wound” and a “broken promise.”
Referring to Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was arrested in Balochistan in 2016, Mr Bhutto-Zardari said India’s attempt to portray itself as the region’s victim was a “narrative divorced from ground realities.”
“India has not only sponsored proxies, but its own armed forces have been directly involved in terrorist acts not just in Pakistan, but in countries like Sri Lanka and Canada,” he claimed, urging New Delhi to abandon its foreign policy of aggression.
He also questioned India’s unwillingness to accept Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s offer of an independent and transparent investigation into the Pahalgam incident.
“Why would the ‘real victim’ of terrorism shy away from accountability?” Mr Bhutto-Zardari asked. “Perhaps because the trail of terror leads not to Islamabad but to New Delhi.”
The PPP chairman warned that unless both countries engage sincerely to root out terrorism from the region, future generation would also be condemned to inherit the same instability.

He concluded by reiterating that suspending the Indus Water Treaty was not merely an act against Pakistan but a transgression against humanity and nature.
‘it is punishment – it is madness,’ he said .’ To weaponries water is to gamble with the survival of millions. It is a crime against the Earth itself.
