Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has threatened India on postponing the Indus Water Treaty. Sharif said at an event in the capital Islamabad on Tuesday
Enemies (India) cannot snatch even a single drop of water from Pakistan. You threatened us to stop water. If you try to do so, Pakistan will teach you a lesson that will not forget for a lifetime.
Sharif said that if India tries to stop the water flowing towards Pakistan, then it will be a violation of the Indus Water Treaty. He threatened that it would be answered in a decisive manner.
He said that water is the lifeline of Pakistan and no compromise will be made on the country’s rights under international agreements.
Bilawal has also threatened India for war
Prior to Shahbaz Sharif, former Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto has threatened India for war. In a statement on Monday, Bilawal had said that if India kept the Indus Water Treaty suspended, Pakistan will have no option but to war.
Bhutto said in a program of Sindh province government,
The Modi government’s steps have caused huge damage to Pakistan. We have to unite and answer these aggressive policies.
Bhutto claimed that the people of Pakistan are capable of rusting to withdraw six rivers.
Earlier, Army Chief Munir also threatened that if India builds a dam on the Indus river water, Pakistan would blow it with 10 missiles.
What is the Indus Water Agreement between India and Pakistan?
There are a total of 6 rivers in the Indus river system- Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. The area along their banks is spread over 11.2 lakh square kilometers.
It has 47% land in Pakistan, 39% land in India, 8% land in China and 6% land in Afghanistan. Around 30 crore people from all these countries live in these areas.
Already in 1947, the partition of rivers started between Punjab and Pakistan’s Sindh province of India and Pakistan.
In 1947, there was a ‘Standstil Agreement’ between the engineers of India and Pakistan. Under this, Pakistan continued to get water from two main canals. The agreement lasted until 31 March 1948.
When the agreement was not implemented on 1 April 1948, India stopped the water of both canals. This ruined farming on 17 lakh acres of land in Punjab province of Pakistan. In the re -agreement, India agreed to give water.
After this, a conversation of water sharing in India Pakistan was held in the mediation of the World Bank from 1951 to 1960 and finally on 19 September 1960, there was a signature between PM Nehru and Pakistan President Ayub Khan in Karachi. It is called Indus Water Treaty or Indus Water Treaty.
India canceled this agreement
India stopped the 65 -year -old Indus Water Agreement with Pakistan on 24 April on the second day of the terrorist attack on 22 April in Pahalgam. 26 people were killed in this terrorist attack.
