Bikaner: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday delivered a resounding warning to Pakistan over its continued support for terrorism, declaring that not a single drop of water from Indian rivers will be allowed to flow into Pakistan as long as it continues to export terror.

Addressing a public rally in Deshnoke, Bikaner, PM Modi reaffirmed India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty—a historic water-sharing agreement signed in 1960 under the mediation of the World Bank.

“Pakistan will not get a single drop of water that belongs to India. Playing with the blood of Indians will cost Pakistan dearly. This is India’s resolve, and no one in the world can deter us from this commitment,” Modi declared to loud applause.

The Prime Minister’s remarks come just weeks after India launched Operation Sindoor, a powerful counter-terror military offensive in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. Following the assault, India halted the implementation of the Indus Waters Treaty as part of a broader strategy to hold Islamabad accountable for harboring terrorist networks.

Modi emphasized that India’s approach to national security has fundamentally changed, noting that the country’s patience should not be mistaken for weakness.

“If Pakistan continues to export terrorists, it will be left begging for every penny,” he said. “There will be no trade, no talks. And if there are talks, they’ll be about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.”

The Prime Minister’s fiery speech follows Islamabad’s recent appeal to New Delhi to reconsider its unilateral decision to suspend the water-sharing pact. Pakistan called the move a violation of the treaty’s core terms.

However, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar earlier clarified India’s stance, asserting that dialogue with Pakistan can only happen on the issue of terror. He confirmed that the Indus Waters Treaty will remain in abeyance until Pakistan takes irreversible steps to eliminate cross-border terrorism.

The 1960 Indus Waters Treaty governs the sharing of the Indus River and its tributaries — Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Jhelum, and Chenab — between the two countries. Although the agreement has survived multiple wars and skirmishes, India’s latest decision marks one of the strongest rebukes to Islamabad in recent history.
