Pakistan Condemns India’s Use of Water as a Weapon

Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, has condemned what he described as India’s use of water as a weapon, rejecting New Delhi’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.

Dar said the treaty remained fully in force despite India’s unilateral move to suspend its implementation.

He argued that the Indian decision had no legal basis, maintaining that New Delhi could not unilaterally set aside the agreement.

His remarks framed Pakistan’s objection in both legal and political terms: Islamabad rejects the suspension’s validity while accusing India of using water as an instrument of pressure.
