Pakistan’s Foreign Office strongly condemned recent statements from India’s water minister suggesting a plan to halt water flow to Pakistan. The spokesperson warned that any deliberate disruption of water supplies, crucial for the livelihoods of over 250 million Pakistanis, would be viewed with “utmost seriousness.” Pakistan argues such an action would violate international agreements regarding shared rivers and could be considered an act of war under the UN Charter. The Indian minister, CR Patil, stated that no water would be allowed to flow to Pakistan following directives from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistan firmly rejected the idea of water being used as a political weapon or tool for coercion, emphasizing the potential threat to regional peace and security. The Foreign Office placed full responsibility for any resulting international instability on India. Further developments are anticipated as the situation unfolds.
