‘BrahMos missile is India's answer to Pakistan’: Owaisi dismisses Pak PM's 'threats' on Indus Waters Treaty

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday dismissed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's "threats" over the Indus Waters Treaty, saying they would not have any impact on India.

Speaking to reporters here, Owaisi said the BrahMos missile is India's answer to Pakistan.

“You (Sharif) are the prime minister of a country… You are using such a language that it will not have any impact on us. The (Indian) government has kept the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance. Instead of showing some change, you are threatening. Threats will not have any impact on India. Enough of it,” he said, in response to a query on the remarks of Sharif, its army chief Asim Munir and other leaders on the treaty.

Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said India would not be allowed to snatch "even one drop" of water belonging to Pakistan, amid tensions between the two neighbours.

A day after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, India took a series of punitive measures against Pakistan that included putting the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in "abeyance".

On Special Intensive Revision undertaken by the Election Commission in Bihar, the Hyderabad MP alleged that the names of many legitimate voters were being deleted.

He noted that the Centre has not specified which documents prove citizenship.
