Former Pakistan foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto has issued a fresh round of threats against India on Monday, warning of war if New Delhi continues with changes to the Indus Water Treaty.
In a speech, Bhutto claimed India had attacked Pakistan and accused India of “barbarism” over the issue. He told supporters that “every Pakistani is ready to fight a war” and boasted that Pakistan’s armed forces had delivered a “historic reply” to India.
He went on to say that “you people are strong enough for war to get back all six rivers,” vowing that Pakistan “will never bow down”.
The statement from Bhutto comes a day after Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir threatened to start a nuclear war and went on a brazen anti-India rant at an event in the US state of Florida.
