Washington: An American journal has strongly supported Pakistan\u2019s position regarding India\u2019s actions against the Indus Waters Treaty, warning that these steps could pose a serious humanitarian threat in South Asia.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the US publication, The National Interest, in its report said India\u2019s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty has introduced a new dimension to water politics in the region. It stated that the move could increase regional tensions and instability.<\/p>\n

The journal noted that India\u2019s \u201cDulhasti Stage-II\u201d project is a direct challenge to the treaty and represents an attempt to turn water into a strategic weapon. It warned that a water crisis in South Asia could become a major humanitarian danger.<\/p>\n

The report further stated that India\u2019s refusal to provide water-related data violates international laws. It highlighted that the International Court of Justice has clearly ruled that India cannot unilaterally suspend the Indus Waters Treaty.<\/p>\n

The National Interest added that the IWT is a fundamental guarantee for water security in South Asia. It emphasized that India is legally obligated to provide water from the western rivers to Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The report condemned India\u2019s attempt to weaponize water, saying it is unacceptable under international courts and laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
