- Water discharge The worst example of Indian water aggression: Minister.
- Ahsan Iqbal says that India stores water and suddenly releases her.
- The failure of India decreases to share timely information with Pakistan.
Pakistan has assaulted India essentially “Water of Arms”, with the Minister of Planning and Development, Ahsan Iqbal, saying that New Delhi discharged the torrents of his prey in an abrupt and intentional way.
“India has started using water as a weapon,” Iqbal said while talking about Geographical news‘Program “AAJ Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath” while reflecting on large -scale floods in Punjab, which has left vast strips of land flooded due to the overflow of the Ravi, Sutlej and Chenab rivers.
With at least seven people losing their lives in the Punjab Gujranwala division due to flood Courts.
Punjab Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz issued a series of directives to the provincial and district authorities on Wednesday to accelerate relief and rehabilitation efforts in areas affected by floods.
The prime minister ordered the presence of the commissioners and commissioners attached, together with the immediate documentation of damages caused to homes and crops.
She ordered the district administrations to restrict people to enter the flooding areas.
Separately, speaking in a video statement while supervising rescue efforts and help in Kartarpur, Iqbal described the water discharge as a “worst example” of water aggression by India.
“India stores water in the rivers and suddenly frees it,” said the minister, added that the aggression of New Delhi water represented a threat to lives and properties.
“Some problems are beyond national disputes and political differences. Countries should put aside all differences and guarantee cooperation on the issue of water resources.
India has also made natural disasters a source of policy. India did not share information with Pakistan in a timely manner, “he said, adding that New Delhi’s failure to do so was” extremely unfortunate and inhuman. “
The minister’s comments refer to the Treaty of the Waters of the Indo (IWT) that unites both countries to share information from each other about water discharge. However, the treaty has been suspended by the government of the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, after Pahalgam’s attack in Jammu and Kashmir of the illegally occupied Indians (Iiojk) in April.
However, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in June, in a unanimous binding judgment for both countries, issued a supplementary award in the IWT case and declared that New Delhi could not unilaterally suspend the agreement.
The arbitration court ruling confirmed that the unilateral actions of India could not undermine the jurisdiction of the Arbitration Court or the neutral expert in procedures under the IWT.
Although India communicated with Pakistan to warn about a possible flood situation, due to water discharge, the measure was carried out through diplomatic channels and not through the bilateral commission as required by the IWT.
