Pakistan Condemns India’s Move on Water Treaty

June 21, 2025

🚨 Key Issue:

India’s and Pakistan Home Minister  declared:

“The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) will never be restored. We’ll divert Pakistan’s water to Rajasthan.”

🇵🇰 Pakistan’s Response:

1. “Reckless violation of international law”:
   • The IWT is a binding 1960 agreement with no option for one-sided cancellation.
2. “Dangerous precedent”:
   • India’s move undermines trust in global treaties.
3. Water = Weapon?:
   • Pakistan warns: “Blocking water is an act of war.”

💧 Why the Treaty Matters in Pakistan:

• Governs sharing of the Indus River system.
• Provides 80% of water for Pakistan’s farms.
• India suspended it after a terror attack in Kashmir (which Pakistan denies role in).

🔮 What’s Next?

• Pakistan will take legal action to protect its water rights.
• Hopes for treaty talks fade after Shah’s statement.

“India’s actions threaten regional peace. We’ll defend our rights.”
