Jammu, 1 June (H.S.): Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Member of Parliament, Gulam Ali Khatana, today stated that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has consistently misused the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) to deny the people of the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir their rightful access to hydropower development and economic progress.
Speaking in Copenhagen (Denmark), Khatana emphasized that Pakistan’s use of terrorism, supported by its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and military establishment, is a deliberate and long-standing strategy aimed at bleeding India and manipulating international sentiment.
“India, under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has categorically refused to bow to Pakistan’s age-old policy of deploying non-state actors to carry out acts of violence while avoiding accountability,” said Khatana, adding “Bharat has demonstrated a clear and unshakable resolve to combat terrorism by all means and at all levels.”
Highlighting recent security operations, he added, “Operation Sindoor is a testimony to the precision, reach, and effectiveness of Indian forces in targeting terror infrastructure operating across the border in Pakistan.” Khatana firmly asserted that terrorism and cooperation under the Indus Water Treaty cannot coexist.
