Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has accused India of constructing dams on shared rivers with the intention of creating a water shortage in Pakistan, effectively weaponizing water resources. Sanaullah alleges this violates existing water treaties between the two nations, specifically the Indus Waters Treaty. He stated the construction is aimed at exerting pressure on Pakistan and disrupting its agricultural sector. The minister called for international intervention to address the issue and ensure equitable water distribution. He further emphasized the potential for severe consequences for Pakistan’s economy and food security if the dam construction continues unabated. Pakistan has previously raised concerns regarding Indian water projects, citing potential violations of the treaty, but India maintains its projects are within the treaty’s parameters. This latest accusation escalates tensions surrounding water sharing in the region.
