Pakistani Senator Sounds Alarm Over India’s Hold on Indus Waters Treaty, Urges Urgent Action

In a stark warning, Pakistani Senator Syed Ali Zafar has described India’s move to place the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance as a potential “water bomb,” posing a serious threat to Pakistan’s water security. He called on the government to proactively defuse this crisis through diplomatic and international channels before it escalates into a humanitarian and regional conflict. The treaty, which governs the distribution of waters from six rivers, has been a cornerstone of Indo-Pakistani cooperation since 1960. With tensions rising, the suspension could significantly impact agriculture, drinking water supply, and regional stability in Pakistan
