BJP leader and national spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain slammed Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind president Arshad Madani for his recent statement on the suspension of Indus Water Treaty.

Shahnawaz Hussain said that he condemns the statement and it is very objectionable. He asked if Pakistan can conduct a blood bath, then can we not stop their water?. The BJP leader further said that there is anger in the Muslim community by the statement made by Arshad Madani.

"I condemn this statement. This is a very objectionable statement. Pakistan can conduct a blood bath and we can't even stop their water? What kind of advice is this? He is saying there shouldn't be a war...there is anger amongst the Muslim community also, for the kind of statement made by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind", Syed Shahnawaz Hussain told ANI.

Arshad Madani on Sunday spoke on the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty. Madani said that if any country stops water, let them stop it. He added that the rivers have been flowing for thousands of years and questioned where the water of these rivers will go.

Madani further said that the rule should be one of love, not hatred, and as a "Muslim" spending life in the country, he knows that "the things which are being promoted here are not suitable for the country."

"If someone stops water, let them stop it... These rivers have been flowing for thousands of years, where will you take their water? It's not easy. I think the rule should be of love and not hatred. I am a Muslim, I am spending my life here in this country, and I know that the things which are being promoted here are not suitable for the country", Arshad Madani said.

Following the Pahalgam attacks, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists, the Indian government took various measures against Pakistan.

The steps include suspending the Indus Water Treaty signed between both countries in 1960. Defence, Military, Naval, and Air Advisors in the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi were declared persona non grata and asked to leave India within a week. (ANI)
