Blocking Indus Waters Will Be Treated as Act of War”: Pakistan Issues Strong Warning to India
Pakistan’s foreign minister warns India against any move to restrict Indus River waters, calling it an “act of war” and vowing a strong response.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated after Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar issued a stern warning regarding the sharing of Indus River waters. He stated that any attempt by India to stop or divert the flow of water would be considered an “act of war,” signaling a sharp rise in rhetoric between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The statement comes in the backdrop of ongoing disputes related to the Indus Waters Treaty, a long-standing agreement brokered to regulate water distribution between India and Pakistan. Islamabad has accused New Delhi of attempting to undermine the treaty through infrastructure projects and policy decisions.
Responding to the remarks, Indian officials have reiterated their commitment to international agreements while asserting their right to utilize water resources within the framework of the treaty. However, no official statement has confirmed any move to block water flow entirely.
Experts believe that such strong language from Pakistan reflects growing concerns over water security and regional stability. The Indus River system is a lifeline for millions in both countries, making any dispute over its waters highly sensitive.
The situation remains tense, with diplomatic channels expected to play a crucial role in preventing further escalation. Observers warn that inflammatory statements could strain already fragile relations between the two nations.
