- Evacuation of water, worse example of the aggression of India water: Minister.
- Ahsan Iqbal says that India stores water and suddenly releases it.
- Unlock India’s failure to share information with Pakistan in a timely time.
Pakistan has assailed India to essentially have “water armaments”, the Minister of Planning and Development, Ahsan Iqbal, said that New Delhi suddenly and intentionally unloaded the torrents of its dams.
“India began to use water as a weapon,” said Iqbal speaking of the PK Press Club News program “AAJ Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath” while he was thinking about the large -scale floods in Punjab, which left large expanses of flooded land due to the overflow of the Ravi, Sutlej and Chenab rivers.
With at least seven people losing their lives in the Gujranwala division of Punjab because of the floods, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) advised Sindh de Sindh de Sindh, the province of disaster management (PDMA) Sindh to initiate the evacuation of vulnerable communities residing along the areas of Katcha (Rivière) The Indus River.
The chief minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, published a series of directives to the provincial and district authorities on Wednesday to accelerate rescue and rehabilitation efforts in the areas affected by floods.
The chief minister ordered the presence in the field of assistant commissioners, as well as immediate documents of damage caused to houses and cultures.
She ordered the district administrations to restrict people to enter the flood areas.
Separately, speaking in a video declaration while supervising the rescue and rescue efforts in Kartarpur, Iqbal qualified the water discharge of “worse example” of water aggression by India.
“India stores water on rivers and suddenly releases it,” said the minister, adding that the assault of New Delhi water threatened a threat to life and properties.
“Some questions go beyond national disputes and political differences. Countries should put all the differences aside and ensure cooperation on the issue of water resources.
India has also made natural disasters a source of politics. India has not shared information with Pakistan in a timely manner, “he said, adding that not doing it from New Delhi was” extremely regrettable and inhuman “.
The Minister’s remarks refer to the Water Treaty in the Indus (IWT) which links the two countries to share the information with each other on the water discharge. However, the treaty was presented by the government of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the attack on Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk), he illegally occupied India.
However, the permanent court of arbitration in June, in a unanimous judgment linking the two countries, awarded an additional sentence in the TWT case and said that New Delhi could not unilaterally suspend the agreement.
The decision of the arbitration court confirmed that the unilateral actions of India could not undermine the jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration or the neutral expert in the procedure under the TWT.
Although India has contacted Pakistan to warn of a potential flood situation – due to the water discharge – the move was made via diplomatic channels and not through the bilateral commission, as required by the TWT.
