Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, addressing a Telangana BJP 'Intellectuals Meet' in Hyderabad on June 13, 2026, strongly reiterated India's position on the suspended Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). He said: 'We will not let the waters of the Sindhu reach the patrons of terrorists.' This echoed PM Modi's statement that 'blood and water cannot flow together'.
