Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp critique of the opposition on Tuesday,especially targeting the Congress party,over their stance and participation in a parliamentary debate concerning “operation Sindoor.” The Prime Minister also addressed the historical Indus waters Treaty,questioning the decisions made by previous governments.
Indus Waters Treaty Under Fire
modi revisited the Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, which governs the sharing of waters from the Indus River system between India and Pakistan. he expressed strong disapproval of the terms,stating,”The World Bank was allowed to decide on the sharing of the waters of the Indus and the Jhelum. Nehru signed this treaty that granted rights to 80 per cent water to Pakistan and 20 per cent to a big country like India. What kind of diplomacy is this?”
He reiterated IndiaS firm stance on the matter, emphasizing, “India has firmly conveyed its stance that blood and water cannot flow together.” This statement underscores India’s position that security concerns and water-sharing agreements are intrinsically linked,especially in the context of cross-border terrorism.
Jibe at congress Over Tharoor and Tewari
The Prime Minister also took a veiled jab at the Congress party for what he perceived as their muted response during the “Operation Sindoor” debate. He alluded to prominent Congress leaders, implicitly referencing Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari, who did not participate in the discussion.
“Those who consider themselves big leaders of Congress are feeling pain as to why India’s stand was presented before the world,” Modi remarked. “Perhaps some leaders have been barred even from speaking in Parliament.There is a need to get rid of this mindset.” this comment suggested that certain opposition figures were either silenced or chose not to voice their opinions, which the Prime Minister found indicative of a flawed approach.
Opposition Accused of Finding Excuses
Modi further accused the opposition of consistently finding excuses to oppose national security operations, including “Operation Sindoor.” He drew parallels with previous operations like surgical strikes and airstrikes, suggesting a pattern of obstructionism.
“Terrorists are crying, their masterminds are crying and seeing them cry, some people are crying here too,” the Prime Minister stated, drawing a stark contrast between the reactions of adversaries and certain domestic political factions. “they tried to play a game during the surgical strike; it didn’t work. During the airstrike, they tried playing another game. That didn’t work either. When Operation Sindoor took place,they adopted a new tactic-‘Why did you stop?’… Wahah re after bahaduron! you need one or the other excuse to oppose. So, not just me but the entire country is laughing at you.”
The Prime Minister’s remarks highlighted a perceived lack of national unity and support for the country’s defense and foreign policy initiatives from certain sections of the opposition, framing their criticism as counterproductive and amusing to the broader public.
