"Blood is already flowing in Pakistan," says Dilip Ghosh; Slams TMC over ABVP leader attack in Bolpur

Amid escalating tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Dilip Ghosh criticized Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari over his remarks that "either water or blood will flow." Ghosh stated, "Blood is already flowing in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda is beating them from one side and Afghanistan from the other... We have already shown them what we can do. He is still a child like he was earlier. It is Pakistan's old habit to make such futile statements." Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had made the comment in response to India's move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.

Addressing Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's statement seeking dialogue, Ghosh said, "They want to sit and talk, but the world does not want to sit with them. Why would one sit with them and waste time? Who violated the Shimla Agreement? Which agreement has Pakistan not violated since 1947?... It is too late now. It is time for action... They should be ready to get beaten up." Ghosh highlighted Pakistan's record of breaking treaties with India since 1947.

India on Wednesday took diplomatic actions including expelling Pakistani military attaches, suspending the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960, and closing the Attari land-transit post. These steps were taken citing Pakistan’s cross-border connections to the Pahalgam attack. The Pahalgam attack claimed the lives of 26 tourists at the Baisaran meadow and injured several others. The Resistance Front, a proxy of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility before later distancing itself from the incident.

Meanwhile, former MP and BJP leader Dilip Ghosh, during his morning walk at New Town Eco Park, addressed multiple issues, including Pakistan’s response to the Indus Treaty suspension and the attack on ABVP South Bengal State Secretary Aniruddha Sarkar in Bolpur. Ghosh criticized the alleged involvement of Trinamool-backed jihadi forces in the assault. Additionally, violence erupted in Banpur during a dispute involving land mafias, leading to gunfire. Separately, the Central Government submitted counter-affidavits in the Supreme Court defending the Waqf Amendment Act, stating that it does not interfere with any individual's religious rights. Across the Line of Control in Kashmir, Pakistan Army forces reportedly fired at Nipa Valley and Limam Valley.
