Mohali (Punjab) [India], April 26 (ANI): Launching a scathing attack on Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari over his remarks following the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday urged him to "get his mental condition checked."
Speaking to ANI, Puri warned that India's patience had worn thin, saying, "Enough is enough."
"Tell him to get his mental condition checked, what kind of statements he is giving. Enough is enough...We will no longer tolerate this. Now wait for a few days," Hardeep Puri said.
His comments came amid heightened tensions after the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives and prompted India to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, leading Bhutto to resort to empty rhetoric.
Earlier on Friday, while addressing a public gathering in Sukkur, Zardari stated that just as the PPP did not approve a controversial canal project without consensus, Pakistanis will stand united and give a resounding response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aggression on the Indus River, as reported by Geo News.
"The brave people of Sukkur have sent a clear message by participating in the rally that we will not allow anyone to bargain over the Indus... The Modi government is unilaterally suspending the Indus Water Treaty...but I want to stand by the Indus River in Sukkur and give a clear message to India that the Indus River is ours and will remain ours; either our water will flow from this Indus or your blood," the PPP Chairman said.
Earlier, Union Minister for Commerce Piyush Goyal also slammed the PPP Chairman, stating that the presence of such politicians in the world was "unfortunate."
Goyal further noted that Pakistan was a "despondent" country with no priorities other than spreading terror.
He expressed confidence that many Pakistani nationals would not even agree with Zardari's views.
"Pakistan is a despondent country and they don't have any priority apart from spreading terror. It is unfortunate for the world that there is a presence of such politicians in it. I condemn this and I am sure Pakistani nationals also don't agree with such statements," the Union Minister said. (ANI)
