Islamabad:
Pakistan Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday, AMIT SHAPS “brazen -signing” for international agreements, threw after the latter said New Delhi would never restore the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Islamabad.
“We will take water flowing to Pakistan to Rajasthan by constructing a channel. Pakistan will be starved by water as it has been unfair,” Shah said in an interview with Times of India on Saturday.
In response to Shah’s comments, spokesman for the Foreign Office Shafqat Ali Khan said they reflected “a brave ignoring of the holiness of international agreements” and noted that IWT is an apolitical agreement with no provisions on one -sided action.
India sat in “Abeyance” with his participation in the Treaty of 1960, which controls the use of the Indus River System after 26 civilians in IIOJK were killed.
“India’s illegal announcement to hold the Treaty in Abeyance constitutes a clear violation of international law, the provisions of the Treaty itself and the basic principles that govern intermediate state,” the foreign office said.
“Such behavior puts a reckless and dangerous precedent – one that undermines the credibility of international agreements and raises serious issues of the reliability and reliability of a state that openly refuses to fulfill its legal obligations.”
The statement added that “weaponing water to political targets” is irresponsible and contrary to the behavior of a responsible state. It required India that India immediately restore the full implementation of IWT.
“Too his part, Pakistan remains firmly engaged in the treaty and will take all the necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and rights under it,” the statement concluded.
The latest comments from Shah, the most powerful cabinet minister of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, have dampened Islamabad’s hope of negotiations on the Treaty in the short term.
Last month, Reuters reported that India plans to dramatically increase the water it draws from a larger river that feeds Pakistani farms downstream, as part of the retaliatory action.
“No, it will never be restored,” the Shah Times of India said earlier today. “We will take water flowing to Pakistan to Rajasthan by constructing a channel. Pakistan will be starved by water as it has been unfair.”
The latest comments from Shah, the most powerful cabinet minister of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, reveals Delhi’s intentions as Islamabad hopes for negotiations on the Treaty in the short term.
