NEW DELHI: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday lashed out at Pakistani leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari , who had threatened that "blood would flow" in the Sindhu river if India stopped water under the suspended Indus Waters Treaty .
Reminding Zardari of the repercussions of terrorism, Owaisi asked: "Who killed your mother?"
"He is new to politics. He should first think about who killed his mother. His mother was killed by homegrown terrorism. If he cannot understand that, how can anyone reason with him? If terrorism killed his mother, then the attacks that took the lives of our mothers and daughters are also terrorism. He needs to understand this," said the Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP.
Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was assassinated on December 27, 2007, after addressing a rally in Rawalpindi. As she was leaving the venue, a gunman fired at her and then detonated a suicide bomb, fatally injuring Bhutto.
While the Pakistani government blamed the Pakistani Taliban and militant leader Baitullah Mehsud for the attack, serious suspicions have persisted about the involvement of elements within Pakistan’s military and intelligence services, particularly the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Zardari, who is a former Pakistani foreign minister, threatened India days after New Delhi formally suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, following the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 people, mostly tourists.
"India has accused Pakistan of the Pahalgam incident, with Modi making false allegations to conceal his own weaknesses and deceive his people. He has unilaterally decided to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, under which India had acknowledged that the Indus belongs to Pakistan. Standing here in Sukkur by the Indus, I want to tell India that the Indus is ours and will remain ours. Either water will flow in this Indus, or their blood will," Bhutto, speaking in Sukkur alongside the Indus River, had said.
