Claim
PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that if India tries to restrict the waterways it will be treated as an extreme situation for which Pakistan will keep the nuclear option open; ex-foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar called India a rogue state unfit for the UN General Assembly, and climate minister Musadik Malik threatened to 'cut off hands' if Pakistan's water is stopped.
“बिलावल भुट्टो जरदारी... कह रहे हैं... जलमार्गों पर प्रतिबंध लगाने का प्रयास अगर भारत करेगा तो यह चरम परिस्थिति मानी जाएगी और... इस परिस्थिति के लिए पाकिस्तान न्यूक्लियर रिएक्शन का विकल्प खुला रखेगा।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Each of the three attributed statements is independently corroborated by reputable outlets. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari did link any Indian restriction of Pakistan's waterways to Pakistan's nuclear doctrine, describing it as an extreme/existential scenario and keeping a nuclear/military response on the table. Hina Rabbani Khar, a former foreign minister, called India a 'rogue state' and said it no longer deserved a seat in the UN General Assembly. Climate Change Minister Musadik Malik threatened to 'cut off hands' laid on Pakistan's water. The anchor's roundup accurately reflects all three remarks; only minor paraphrasing (title wording, exact phrasing) differs from the originals.
