Indian water aggression slated: PEW
India wants to see Pakistan as a desert
Water politics by New Delhi can result in war
The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday condemned India for stopping water of three eastern rivers from flowing into Pakistan.
India has used its military power, economic clout, diplomatic relations, and media against Pakistan and now it wants FATF to blacklist Pakistan, it said.
Following the failed efforts India has started water aggression which can result in war, therefore, the international community must play its role, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
He said that India is also planning to leave Indus Water Treaty unilaterally which will be irresponsible as it would be an act of war.
Renewed Indian efforts to make Pakistan a desert has shed light on the need for water conservation in Pakistan, he added.
Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that Pakistan is already facing scarcity of water calling for efforts to conserve water, increase storage capacity, and shun differences over mega projects in the national interests.
He demanded that water should be declared a matter of national security as agriculture, industry, and masses are under serious threat.
He noted that India has targeted our country by constructing big and small dams on rivers flowing towards Pakistan while we have made our important water projects controversial due to which we were facing severe water shortage in the country which is deepening day by day.
The nation should unite to ensure water security as India was making all out efforts to turn Pakistan into barren land, said Dr. Mughal.
