Pakistan Condemns India’s ‘Weaponisation of Water’

Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Muhammad Ishaq Dar, has condemned what he described as India’s use of water as a weapon.

Dar said the Indus Waters Treaty remained fully in force, rejecting New Delhi’s unilateral decision to suspend its implementation.

He argued that India’s move had no legal basis, maintaining that a decision taken by one side did not alter the treaty’s continuing validity.

His remarks set out Islamabad’s opposition to the suspension, framing it as both an unlawful step and an attempt to use water as leverage.
