Pakistan on indus water treatment: Pakistan has accused India of unilaterally weakening the Indus Water Treaty in the 25th Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) session of the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The session focused on the subject of ‘Right to Water’, in which Pakistan’s permanent representative Syed Fawad Sher expressed concern about India’s attitude.
Pakistan said – India’s water policy will increase regional crisis
Syed Fawad Sher said in his address that an attempt to unilaterally change the rules of Indus Water Treaty by India can create a serious crisis for Pakistan, which is already facing water crisis.
He said that the right to water is not only legal, but also morally and socially important, and India’s strict stance can further increase the climate -related climate challenges in South Asia.
OC and International Forums Support
Fawad Sher also reminded that OC’s foreign ministers have already expressed concern about India’s decision. Apart from this, many countries and organizations of the world have appealed to continue the Indus Water Treaty. He reiterated that Pakistan will continue to raise this issue on international forums to protect its water rights.
India increased the speed of Indus water project
After the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indus Water Treaty is currently cold and in the meantime India has started working fast on four big hydropower projects in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the report of Hindustan Times, work is going on on the banks of the Chenab river on Pakal Dul, Kiru, Quar and Ratle projects. These projects can start between May 2026 to July 2028. Apart from this, the design of two more hydroelectric projects is also being prepared.
