Modi: India Won’t Tolerate Nuclear Blackmail
On India’s 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unequivocally declared that the country will no longer tolerate nuclear coercion from Pakistan, while announcing the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
Strong Warning to Pakistan
From the Red Fort, the Prime Minister warned that “blood and water won’t flow together,” signaling a firm rejection of any attempts to use nuclear threats alongside conventional conflict. He emphasised that India has adopted a “new normal” in its approach to national security and foreign aggression.
Indus Waters Treaty Suspended
Modi described the Indus Water arrangement as historically unfair, stating that its implementation had harmed Indian farmers while benefiting Pakistan. In a significant shift, he declared that India no longer recognizes the treaty and aims to uphold the rights and interests of its own farmers first.
Operation Sindoor Highlighted
The Prime Minister also saluted Operation Sindoor, describing it as a testament to India’s strategic autonomy and defence self-reliance. He praised the armed forces for strong action taken against cross-border terror threats.
