He questioned the logic of continuing to share water with countries allegedly linked to terrorism. “How long will we provide water to snakes? It’s time to crush them,” he added.

“Lashkar-e-Taiba is in constant touch with Bangladesh’s interim government,” he said, citing media reports, and added, “To stop the terror infiltration, both India and Bangladesh’s borders need to be secured.”

Earlier, Dubey had also taken a dig at former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, saying that he agreed to “give water to a snake” in the hope of getting a Nobel Prize in 1960.
The Indus Waters Treaty was signed on September 19, 1960, by India’s first PM, Jawaharlal Nehru, and then-Pakistani President Ayub Khan.
On Friday, Dubey took potshots at Pakistan with a social media post tagging a video published by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), in which the outfit claimed that it killed 10 personnel of the Pakistani Army in an IED blast. Dubey captioned his post suggesting that Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating.
