While India has been fast-tracking clearances accelerating construction work for hydropower projects in Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan is raising objections.
After the Pahalgam Attack, India had declared about its decision to step out of Indus Water Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan. India has constructed many dams on the Indus River that Pakistan allges India uses to manipulate the flow of River according to its interests and to destroy livelihoods in Pakistan.
Pakistan has recently wrote a letter to UN Security Council regardinf the unilateral decision to cancel the IWT.
In its four page letter, they have claimed that India is weaponizing water at the false pre-text of Pahalgam Attack.
The Pakistani side flagged that if India misuses its power, it could destroy livelihoods of 240 million people in Pakistan who directly and indirectly dependent of Agriculture.
To be honest, India is doing pretty good job. Remember, these were the people who did 26/11 in India, Pahalgam attack has direct link with Pakistan, they even gave national funeral to a literal UN declared terrorist who died in Operation Sindoor. And these people are talking about the lives of innocents, what about our innocents?
Negotiation made us see events like 26/11, recent Pahalgam, Delhi red fort bomb blast that happened in recent and many other terrorist attacks in J&K.
Negotiating without power is like dealing with a man with a gun while you are unarmed. Negotiations are only succesful when they are in equal terms and control on water is a major requirement for that.
What do you think about this?
