Islamabad:
Pakistan criticized India’s “Brazen Director” on Saturday, Amit Shah, international agreements after the latter said that New Delhi would never restore the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) with Islamabad.
“We will take water flowing in Pakistan to Rajasthan by building a channel. Pakistan will be hungry for water that he was unjustified,” said Shah in an interview with Times of India on Saturday.
Responding to Shah’s comments, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shafqat Ali Khan, said that they reflected “a cheeky contempt for the sacred nature of international agreements” and noted that the TWT is an apolitical agreement without provisions for unilateral action.
India has ensured that its participation in the 1960 treaty governs the use of the Industry river system after 26 civilian civilians were killed.
“The illegal announcement of India to maintain the in suspense treaty constitutes a clear violation of international law, the provisions of the Treaty itself and the fundamental principles governing interstate relations,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Such a conduct establishes an imprudent and dangerous precedent – that which undermines the credibility of international agreements and raises serious questions about the reliability and reliability of a state which openly refuses to fulfill its legal obligations.”
The press release added that “the armament of water at political ends” is irresponsible and contrary to the behavior of a responsible state. He demanded that India immediately restores the complete implementation of the IWT.
“For its part, Pakistan remains firmly attached to the treaty and will take all the necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and rights under it,” concluded the press release.
Shah’s latest comments, the most powerful minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, have attenuated Islamabad’s hopes for short -term treatments.
Last month, Reuters indicated that India planned to considerably increase the water it derives from a large river which feeds the Pakistani farms downstream, as part of the reprisal action.
“No, it will never be restored,” Shah told Times of India earlier during the day. “We will take water flowing in Pakistan to Rajasthan by building a channel. Pakistan will be hungry with water that it has been unjustified.”
Shah’s latest comments, the most powerful minister of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, reveal Delhi’s intentions because Islamabad hopes for negotiations on the short -term treaty.
