Islamabad:
Pakistan criticized on Saturday to the Minister of Interior of India, Amit, the “shameless contempt” of international agreements after the latter said that New Delhi would never restore the swing of the Indo waters (IWT) with Islamabad.
“We will drink water that flows Rajasthan to Pakistan building a channel. Pakistan will be hungry for water that has been unfairly returning,” Shah said in an interview with Times of India on Saturday.
Responding to Shah’s comments, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shafqat Ali Khan, said they reflected “a shameless contempt for the holiness of international agreements” and pointed out that the IWT is an apolitical agreement without dispositions per unilateral action.
India put his participation in the 1960 treaty in “suspension”, which governs the use of the Indo River system, after 26 civilians in Iiojk were killed.
“The illegal announcement of India to maintain the treaty in suspense constitutes a clear violation of international law, the provisions of the treaty itself and the fundamental principles that govern interest relationships,” said the Foreign Ministry.
“Such behavior establishes an imprudent and dangerous precedent, one that undermines the credibility of international agreements and raises serious questions about the reliability and reliability of a State that openly refuses to fulfill its legal obligations.”
The statement added that “the water of weapons for political purposes” is irresponsible and contrary to the behavior of a responsible state. He demanded that India immediately restore the complete implementation of the IWT.
“For its part, Pakistan remains firmly committed to the treaty and will take all the necessary measures to protect their legitimate rights and rights under it,” the statement concluded.
Shah’s latest comments, the most powerful cabinet minister of the Cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have mitigated the hopes of Islamabad of negotiations about the treaty in the short term.
Last month, Reuters reported that India plans to drastically increase the water that extracts from an important river that feeds the Pakistanis downstream farms, as part of the reprisal action.
“No, it will never be restored,” Shah told The Times of India today. “We will drink water that flows Rajasthan to Pakistan building a channel. Pakistan will be hungry for water that has been unfairly doing.”
Shah’s latest comments, the most powerful cabinet minister of the Cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reveals the intentions of Delhi as Islamabad expects negotiations about the treaty in the short term.
