<\/div>\nBilawal Bhutto Zardari (Image credit: ANI) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Former Pakistan foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari<\/a> issued a blunt warning Monday to India over its unilateral suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty<\/a> (IWT), saying Pakistan would not hesitate to respond if its water rights were violated. Speaking during the budget session of National Assembly, the Pakistan Peoples Party chairman said, \u201cIndia has two options: share water fairly, or we will take it from all six rivers.\u201d He described India\u2019s move to suspend the 1960 treaty after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam as both illegal and provocative.Bilawal argued there is no clause allowing unilateral withdrawal. \u201cIndia\u2019s claim that the treaty is in abeyance has no legal basis. According to the UN Charter, cutting off water is a form of aggression,\u201d he said. He warned that if India pursued this course, it could lead to open conflict.\u201cWe do not want war, but if water is used as a weapon… Pakistan will be forced to act \u2014 and we are in a position to defeat India just as we have before,\u201d he said.Bilawal urged India to resume dialogue, particularly on counterterrorism coordination. \u201cWithout engagement, violence will increase in both countries,\u201d he warned, adding Pakistan\u2019s own fight against terrorism had been undermined by Indian attempts to \u201cpoliticise the issue\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
