Pakistan warns India not to dare to stop water
The Director General of the country’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chowdhury, has warned that India will have to face long-term consequences if it tries to stop Pakistan’s water.
In an interview with the media, the ISPR chief said, “I hope that time does not come. But if such a situation really arises, the world will see and we will fight for its consequences for years. No one should dare to stop Pakistan’s water.”
Warning that water for more than 240 million people cannot be stopped in any way, Ahmed Sharif Chowdhury said that the Pakistan Army is a professional armed force that abides by its promises and carries out the instructions of the political government and its promises to the letter.
Regarding Pakistan’s position on the ceasefire, the ISPR chief said that the Pakistan Army will abide by the ceasefire and confidence-building measures have been taken in communication between both sides. However, he did not directly comment on the duration of the ceasefire.
Regarding the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Lieutenant General Chowdhury said in an interview with RT RB, “We are not an arrogant nation, we are a ‘serious’ nation. Our first priority is peace.”
He added, “A big and sensible country like the United States understands better what the sentiments of the people of Pakistan are.”
Regarding the ceasefire with India, Lieutenant General Chowdhury praised the “extraordinary work” of diplomats. “They have engaged the international community very wisely and exceptionally.”
Last month, India blamed Pakistan for the gunmen’s attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam and took several steps. One of them is the Indus Water Treaty signed in 1960. Later, amid reciprocal measures by the two countries, India launched military action in Pakistan. Then, when Pakistan retaliated, the two nuclear powers India and Pakistan engaged in a military clash.
After four days of continuous conflict, the two countries reached a ceasefire on May 10 with the mediation of the United States.
