Modi Declares Indus Waters Treaty “Unjust,” Says “Blood and Water Cannot Flow Together”

On India’s 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a determined message from Red Fort—calling the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty “unjust” and declaring, “blood and water cannot flow together.” He asserted that Indian farmers, long deprived under this one-sided pact, deserve full water rights—marking a stark pivot from diplomacy to decisive action. As India moves to suspend the treaty in wake of cross-border terror threats, Modi’s stance signals growing impatience and resolve. This isn’t just about water—it’s about reclaiming national dignity.
