Chief Minister Omar Abdullah strongly reacted to the Pakistan Prime Minister’s statement on the Indus water treaty. We have always maintained that our blood has been sucked dry through Indus water treaty, These are our rivers; we had the primary right to them.
Abdullah said: They (Pakistan) have sucked our blood.
Abdullah questions Pakistan’s saying “Pakistan claims to stand with the Kashmiris, but when it comes to the water issue, their sympathy vanishes. Where was that sympathy when it came to our right to use our rivers? Out of the six rivers, India retained the three that flowed into Punjab, while our three rivers were handed over to Pakistan. We have been paying the price for the Indus Waters Treaty ever since; we couldn’t even draw drinking water from the Chenab or build a barrage at Tulbul. So, regarding the remark about ‘every drop of blood’—he was right; our blood has indeed been drained. Indus Waters Treaty is cancelled it should remain cancelled. There are many options. Now, apparently, I hear my party is planning a long march. it’s not a wrong thing. A long march—the country needs to remember what we were promised. And it wasn’t an ordinary promise. It was a promise made by Modi. In our country, there are ordinary promises and super promised but this was a ‘super promise.’ (with saying pointing towards Modi ki Guaranty) We aren’t getting an answer as to why this super promise hasn’t been fulfilled yet; however, we are doing the best we can give the current situation. And we will keep bringing up this topic and discussing it.”
Omar retreated the demand of restoration of full statehood to Jammu Kashmir said we will continue our fight Jantar Mantar was a begging there is many more to come teasing the phrase “Modi ki Guaranty” Abdullah said it’s restoration of statehood is a super promise made himself my PM Modi “What next to do I will not discuss with you, We will discuss it amongst ourselves.
