President Asif Ali Zardari called on India to immediately restore the full implementation of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in accordance with international obligations.
In a message on World Water Day, he reiterated Pakistan’s strong condemnation of what he described as India’s unilateral suspension of the treaty.
“This deliberate weaponisation of shared water resources is a matter of deep concern. India’s decision to place the treaty in abeyance, disrupt hydrological data-sharing, impede agreed mechanisms and undermine both the letter and spirit of a long-standing international agreement that has governed equitable sharing of the Indus river system for over six decades,” he said.
