Indus water treatment: The Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is stunned by the action taken by India on Pakistan. Addressing a program in Tajikistan, Shahbaz Sharif compared the Indus Water Agreement to the Gaza crisis. He said that the world is watching the wounds being given using weapons in Gaza. It looks like a wound was not enough. Now we are seeing water used as weapons.
‘PAK will not let the red line cross on the Indus Water Treaty’
According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Shahbaz Sharif said that India is using water as weapons, but Pakistan will not allow the Indus water to cross the red line on the water treaty. Shahbaz Sharif has said these things at the international conference on the conservation of glaciers in Dusamba, the capital of Tajikistan.
Shahbaz Sharif said, “India’s unilateral and illegal decision to postpone the Indus Water Treaty, which controls the water sharing of the Indus basin, is worrying. The lives of millions of people should not be taken hostage for political gains. Pakistan will not let this happen. We will never let the red line cross.”
‘Water is being used as weapons’
Prime Minister Shahbaz said, “Today the world is facing fresh mark of using traditional weapons in Gaza, which has left deep wounds. Now another dangerous weapon is being used by stopping water.” After the Pahalgam terror attack, India had taken many tough decisions, including posting the Sandhu Water Treaty. The Pakistani PM did not mention even once in his entire speech why India took this strict action.
When was the Indus Water Treaty?
The Indus Water Treaty is a historic agreement between India and Pakistan. This happened in 1960. It was signed by the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the then President of Pakistan Ayub Khan. In this, the World Bank played the role of an intermediary. The purpose of the treaty was to end the dispute by setting the conditions of water sharing of rivers between the two countries. The Sindhu river system includes a total of six rivers, including three Eastern rivers Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and three western rivers Sindhu, Jhelum, Chenab.
What will be affected on Pakistan?
Under this agreement, India has got the right to control and use of Eastern rivers, while Pakistan has got control of Western rivers. About 80 percent of Pakistan’s agricultural irrigation is dependent on the Indus water system. With the ban of India on the Indus Water Agreement, water will not reach water in the Indus River in Pakistan, which will create water crisis and it will directly affect the cultivation there.
