PPP Condemns India's Threats to Pakistan's Water Share with Nationwide Rallies

The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) organized large-scale rallies across Sindh to protest India's unilateral attempts to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) and its plans to divert Pakistani waters.The demonstrations, held in cities like Karachi and Hyderabad, emphasized the importance of the Indus River as a lifeline for millions in Sindh.

PPP leaders, including Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, stressed that Pakistan would not tolerate any attack on its water rights, with Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari advocating for global intervention.

The IWT, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, allocates the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) to Pakistan and the eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) to India.

Activists warned of severe agricultural and livelihood impacts from water shortages, while the army reaffirmed its commitment to protect Pakistan's water share.The rallies highlighted tensions over the 1991 Water Accord and criticized parties like PTI for not addressing India's aggression.The event underscored the political and strategic significance of the Indus Waters Treaty in Indo-Pak relations.
