Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has made it clear that Pakistan will never allow India to use water as a weapon against the country. His strong statement highlights the seriousness of the issue and the government’s firm commitment to protecting Pakistan’s water rights.
This comes at a time when tensions continue between the two nations over the Indus Waters Treaty and concerns about the fair use and distribution of shared rivers.
The treaty, signed in 1960, outlines how the water from the Indus River system should be divided between India and Pakistan. However, recent developments and projects on the Indian side have raised alarms in Pakistan.
PM Shehbaz said that access to water is not just an everyday issue, it is a matter of national survival. He added that the country’s agriculture, economy, and people’s lives depend on fair access to river water.
He also assured the nation that Pakistan will use all diplomatic and legal options to make sure its water rights are respected. He stressed that the government is actively working with experts, legal teams, and international partners to respond to any unfair actions taken by India.
The Prime Minister’s firm words send a strong message to both local and international communities: Pakistan will not compromise on its right to water. As climate challenges and regional water disputes grow, the government plans to stay vigilant and defend this vital resource at all costs.
