Sindh Irrigation Minister Jam Khan Shoro has said that India is plotting a deep conspiracy to breach the Indus Water Treaty, which could prove disastrous for the region’s peace. Addressing an important and urgent press Conference here at the Hyderabad Press Club, the Irrigation Minister said that in 1947, the water of the newborn country was stopped by using water as a weapon. The Indus River is named after Sindh, and the Indus River also has a sacred status for Hindus. Shoro said that India is making continuous and deep conspiracies to unilaterally break the Indus Waters Treaty, which could prove hazardous for the peace of the region. The minister said that immediately after independence in 1947, water was used as a political weapon and a nefarious attempt was made to stop the water of a newborn country like Pakistan. He said that at that time, by stopping the water, the enemy was fully convinced that this country would not be able to run, but the people of Pakistan and the powerful circles averted such conspiracies. He said that the biggest problem at this moment is India’s non-compliance with the Indus Water Treaty (Indus Basin Agreement), which is highly deplorable. If the water on which our lands are settled is diverted, it will be a declaration of war.
