A priest from India has made serious accusations against the Indian government, claiming that the promises to block Pakistan’s water are misleading the public.
Speaking to local media, the priest criticised Prime Minister Modi’s administration, stating that the government is using water politics to deceive the people.
He alleged that India currently has no arrangements in place to stop the flow of the Indus River.
According to the priest, even if the Indian government began working on halting the Indus water, it would take at least 20 years to achieve.
He further accused the government of repeatedly making false claims about blocking Pakistan’s water, suggesting that the statements were merely tactics to mislead the Indian public.
The priest said, “Someone has clearly failed in their responsibility, and that failure must be held accountable.”

As in previous instances, Indian media has continued to circulate baseless propaganda, raising further questions about the credibility of the official narrative.
