“Not a Drop!” — PM Shehbaz Issues Strong Warning to India on Indus Waters
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued a strong warning to India, stating that Pakistan will not allow New Delhi to take “even one drop” of water from its rightful share under the Indus Waters Treaty. His remarks come amid growing tensions after India, in April, moved to alter the long-standing water-sharing agreement.
Islamabad has termed any such action an “act of war,” warning that it would challenge the move under the Vienna Convention. The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, governs the distribution of water from the Indus River system between the two countries, and disputes over its terms have long been a flashpoint in bilateral relations.
This latest statement underscores Pakistan’s firm stance on protecting its water rights as both nations face mounting environmental and political challenges.
