130 Nukes Aimed at You': Pakistan Minister Warns India Over Indus Treaty Suspension

Islamabad/New Delhi, April 27 — In a shocking and aggressive statement, a senior Pakistani minister has warned India of nuclear consequences if New Delhi proceeds with its plan to suspend or walk away from the Indus Waters Treaty. The statement has escalated tensions between the two neighbors, raising serious concerns in the international community.

The minister, while speaking to the media in Islamabad, said, “If India thinks it can block our waters or suspend the Indus Treaty, then Pakistan has no other option but to respond. Remember, we have 130 nukes, and they are not for show. They are aimed at you.”

This strong warning comes after reports emerged that India is considering reviewing the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty following recent provocations and terrorist activities allegedly linked to Pakistani soil. The treaty, brokered by the World Bank, governs the sharing of river waters between India and Pakistan and has survived multiple wars and tensions for over six decades.

Indian officials have not responded officially to the minister’s comments but sources in New Delhi have called the threats "irresponsible and provocative." They emphasized that India remains a responsible country that believes in resolving disputes through dialogue but will not tolerate any form of intimidation.

Experts say that the Indus Waters Treaty is considered one of the most successful water-sharing agreements in the world. Any attempt to walk away from it could have major humanitarian and geopolitical consequences, affecting millions of people in both countries.

Security analysts have warned that nuclear threats, even if made rhetorically, can lead to dangerous miscalculations. “Such reckless statements only worsen the fragile peace and make negotiations more difficult,” said Dr. Meera Menon, a South Asia security expert.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s opposition leaders criticized the minister’s remarks, saying that threatening nuclear war is not the right way to handle a water dispute. "Diplomacy and mature dialogue are the need of the hour, not dangerous threats that can destabilize the entire region," said a former Pakistani foreign minister.

The United Nations and several international observers have called for calm and urged both India and Pakistan to stick to peaceful discussions. They stressed the importance of respecting international agreements like the Indus Waters Treaty, which plays a critical role in ensuring water security for millions.

As of now, India is continuing its review of the treaty, and Pakistan is reportedly planning to take the issue to international forums if any unilateral action is taken by New Delhi.

The situation remains tense, and both nations' citizens are hoping that sanity will prevail over threats and provocations.
