‘Hamari khopdi sanak gayi toh phir BrahMos chalega’: BJP leader, actor Mithun Chakraborty on Bhutto’s remarks on India

BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty, reacting to Bilawal Bhutto’s remarks on the Indus Water Treaty, warned of launching BrahMos missiles and made a controversial comment about building a dam to unleash a “tsunami”.

Mithun clarified that his remarks were directed at Bhutto, not the people of Pakistan.

Talking to ANI, the BJP leader said, “Agar aisi baatein karte rahenge aur hamari khopdi sanak gayi toh phir ek ke baad ek BrahMos chalega… We have also thought of building a dam where 140 crore people will pee. After that, we will open the dam, and a tsunami will occur. I have nothing against the people of Pakistan. I have said all of this for him (Bilawal Bhutto)…”

What did Pakistan’s leader Bilawal Bhutto said? 

Aday after Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir issued a nuclear threat to India during an event in the US, Pakistan’s Bilawal Bhutto has called on Pakistani citizens to unite against PM Modi, accusing India of damaging Pakistan and warning of war if New Delhi continues to suspend the Indus Water Treaty.

Bhutto, while speaking at an event asked people, “to unite against  Prime Minister Modi, because of the damage India did to Pakistan.”

“If Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announces an attack on Indus, he attacks our history, our culture and our civilisation,” Bilawal was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune.

India suspended the 1960 Indus Water Treaty shortly after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah earlier declaring that the historic pact would never be reinstated.

Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir has, during his ongoing visit to the United States, said that Islamabad will defend its water rights “at all costs” if India proceeds with dam construction on the Indus River.
