Claim
Bilawal Bhutto had said that water would flow there (a threat made in the context of the Indus Waters Treaty dispute).
“वो कह रहे थे यू नो बिलावल भुट्टो तो कह रहे थे कि वहां पानी बहेगी”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Bilawal Bhutto did make the referenced statement. Speaking at Sukkur in April 2025 after India placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, he said 'the Indus is ours and will remain ours — either our water will flow in it, or their blood.' The anchor's paraphrase that Bilawal said 'water would flow there' accurately reflects this widely reported remark, which multiple wire and mainstream outlets documented; no fact-checker disputes that he said it.
