“Good that Indus Water Treaty is suspended, but where will we store the water,” asks Owaisi
New Delhi: Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), has called for strong and decisive action against Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack and expressed his support for the government's decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.
Speaking to the media after attending an all-party meeting convened by the Centre in New Delhi, Owaisi welcomed the government's move to suspend the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. However, he raised concerns about where the government would store the water.
"It is very good that the Indus Water Treaty has been suspended, but where will we keep the water,” questioned Owaisi. However, he emphasised AIMIM would support whatever decision the government takes, reiterating that the matter should not be viewed through a political lens.
The AIMIM leader also pointed out that international law grants India the right to respond strongly to the Pahalgam attack, asserting that India has the right to take measures against any nation harbouring terrorist groups.
Owaisi further raised concerns over the delay in the security response during the attack in Baisaran meadow, questioning why the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was not stationed in the area. He also inquired about the delay in the quick reaction team's arrival, noting that it took them an hour to reach the location.
