Pakistan has once again appealed to India in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to reinstate the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmed, made baseless allegations against India and described himself as a victim. He alleged that the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty was a unilateral action and said that India was deliberately using it as a weapon.
‘Crisis on millions of Pakistanis’
Pakistani Ambassador Iftikhar Ahmed said, “India’s unilateral decision weakens the basic spirit of the Indus Water Treaty. It has endangered the lives of millions of people who depend on this water for food and energy security. This is not only causing harm to one country, but it is also weakening international water law.”
Iftikhar Ahmed described India’s move as a violation of the treaty that has governed equitable water sharing between the two countries for more than six decades. He said a 1960 treaty brokered by the World Bank allocates six rivers of the Indus Basin between India and Pakistan, giving Pakistan control over the western rivers and India over the eastern rivers.
Pakistan is appealing to the United Nations
After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India had taken several actions against Pakistan including suspending the Indus Water Treaty. Now Pakistan has realized that it is going to suffer a lot due to this and that is why it starts pleading for reinstatement of this treaty from different forums. The Pakistani ambassador said, “No provision of the treaty allows unilateral suspension or amendment, therefore we expect full respect of the treaty and an early return to normal functioning.”
