00:00These are the people who were invited to participate in the investigation into Patankot.
00:05They sent their intelligence.
00:07Even we gave them access to an Indian Air Force base.
00:09And they went back and said, oh, the Indians did it to themselves.
00:12I will have no interest personally in Pakistan's participation in any investigation.
00:17You do not ask a murderer to investigate his own murders.
00:21Right now India said that every Pakistan is to go back to their country.
00:25And also they have stopped the Indus Valley Treaty as well.
00:30So how do you see these measures taken by Indian government?
00:33Look, the human costs of people being forced to go back is sad.
00:37I know there are in Kerala alone, I believe 59 Pakistani citizens are medical patients here.
00:42And they will have to go in the middle of their treatment.
00:44There are husbands and wives across the border in both countries who will be affected.
00:49There are complicated cases where one parent has one passport.
00:53The child has another passport.
00:54I feel sorry for them.
00:56But I think when the government wants to send a very strong signal that normal relations are no longer possible,
01:01this inevitably happens.
01:02Ordinary human beings are the victims.
01:04When it comes to the Indus Waters Treaty, it has not been abrogated.
01:08It has been placed in abeyance, which is like saying it's been suspended.
01:13Frankly, at the moment, I don't see very much change to the Pakistanis
01:16because India has not built either storage facilities or diversionary structures into which the water can go.
01:24So we cannot suddenly say tomorrow, Pakistan, you're getting no water because where will the water go?
01:29We can't flood India either.
01:30So it is more a symbolic gesture at this point.
01:33The treaty is in suspension.
01:35We will not feel ourselves bound by it.
01:37What we do to implement more serious measures, I leave it to the government.
01:42At the same time, Pakistan People Party Chairman and beloved people say that it threatened that the blood will grow in reverse if water is dropped.
01:50Look, there is all this inflammatory rhetoric.
01:54The Pakistanis have to understand that they cannot kill Indians with impunity.
02:00It's as simple a message as that.
02:02You want to leave your life in peace.
02:04We will not bother you.
02:05We will leave you in peace.
02:06We have no designs on Pakistan.
02:09We don't want to do anything to the Pakistanis ourselves.
02:11But if you do something to us, then be prepared for a response.
02:15I think that message is very clear.
02:16They can say what they like and if blood is going to flow, I'm sorry to say it will flow possibly more on their side than on ours.
