Bilawal Bhutto says 'wealthy' India has become 'vampires', Pakistan’s answer is yet to come | 5 statements

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday launched a scathing attack against India for targeting "innocent" lives on Pakistani soil. Addressing the Parliament, the former Foreign Affairs Minister said that “India has turned animalistic" and will have to face the consequences of its actions.

 

 

Earlier, Bhutto had courted controversy over his remarks on India's decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty. "The Indus is ours and will remain ours. Either water will flow in this Indus, or their blood will," he had said.

Speaking at the House after India struck nine camps in Pakistan and POK that were terror hotbeds in the early hours of Wednesday, Bilawal Bhutto said the whole of Pakistan was standing firmly behind Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Pak military. 

 

Here are five statements made by the Pakistani politician in the backdrop of India's "Operation Sindoor'

 

 

1. Condemning India's decision to conduct 'Operation Sindoor' in the dark, he said it was "an act of cowardice". The entire world has called out New Delhi's decision to launch an assault against children, he alleged. "If they had the guts, they would have announced war in the day. They would have stood right in front of our soldiers... But they attacked a child in the darkness of night … not just Pakistan but the entire world is condemning it," The Dawn quoted him as saying.

2. Bilawal Bhutto acknowledged that India was a bigger and wealthier country than Pakistan. However, he claimed that Islamabad would not back off after what happened on Wednesday morning. “... there is a quote that goes as ‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall"," he told the Parliament.

 

3. In a strongly-worded statement against the neighbouring nation, Bhutto said, “India has turned animalistic, they have turned into vampires.”  

 

 

 

4. Conducting 'Operation Sindoor' on Pak soil was an act of war by India against Pakistan. His country and government will respond without fail, he reportedly told Sky News.  "But you attacked us, attacked innocent civilians, children and our land … now you will have to prepare because Pakistan’s answer is yet to come..."

 

"According to the United Nations Charter, Pakistan has the right to respond to this attack however it wants," he reportedly said.

5. Bilawal Bhutto rubbished the reports that said that Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar’s kith and kin were among the victims of the missile strikes. “This is absolute fiction, and has been rebuffed. It is fake news, and I’m correcting your quote that originates from fake news on social media and has been rebuffed by local impartial and authoritative journalists,” he was quoted as saying by Pakistani media.
