What did Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stated?
Bhutto said, “He (Modi) says they are heirs to a civilisation thousands of years old, but that civilisation lies in Mohenjo Daro, in Larkana. We are its true custodians, and we will defend it”.
Mr. Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari strongly asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot break the centuries-old bond between the people of Sindh and the Indus River. He accused the Indian government of coveting Pakistan’s waters and called for unity among all four provinces to defend and protect this vital resource.
Bilawal emphasized that neither the people of Pakistan nor the international community would tolerate Modi’s “warmongering” or any attempt to divert the Indus waters away from Pakistan.
“We will send a clear message to the world: any attempt to rob the Sindhu will not be accepted,” he declared.
The PPP chairman urged his supporters to prepare for a firm and determined struggle to defend their river against what he described as Indian aggression.
