Fear of water in Pakistan: Islamabad frightened by one step of India, said – ‘India can create havoc’


There has been a stir in Pakistan after India’s tough stance regarding Indus Waters Treaty. Pakistan’s Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has openly admitted that if needed, India can use water as a dangerous ‘weapon’, which can destroy Pakistan’s agriculture and water security. After this statement, once again Pakistan’s nervousness and nervousness has been clearly exposed on international forums.

Outcry over postponement of Indus Water Treaty

According to Pakistan Minister Ahsan Iqbal, a major crisis has arisen in front of them after India unilaterally suspended the Indus Water Treaty. According to Pakistani media reports, he says that his biggest fear is that India can stop water at the time of sowing crops and can cause huge destruction by releasing water when it is not needed. To deal with this potential threat, Pakistan is now planning to use new dams as a ‘buffer’ in future.

‘Every drop of water is our red line’

This statement of the Pakistani minister comes a few days after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s threat in which he had said that “every drop of water is our red line.” Pakistan is continuously claiming that if its water rights are affected, it will give a strong response. However, India has made it clear that the treaty will not be reinstated until Pakistan completely stops supporting cross-border terrorism.
