Claim
PM Modi has already stated that terrorism and talks cannot go together, terror and trade cannot go together, and water and blood cannot flow together.
“जो पहले ही कह चुके हैं कि आतंकवाद और बातचीत साथ-साथ नहीं चल सकती। टेरर और ट्रेड एक साथ नहीं चल सकते और पानी और खून भी एक साथ नहीं बह सकता।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
PM Modi made exactly these three statements in his nationally televised address on May 12, 2025, following Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack. Multiple primary and wire sources, including the government broadcaster DD News and news agency ANI, confirm he said terror and talks cannot go together, terror and trade cannot go together, and blood/water cannot flow together (referencing the Indus Waters Treaty suspension). The anchor's attribution that Modi 'has already stated' this is factually correct.
