Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon on Thursday strongly condemned India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it an act of open aggression and a serious threat to regional peace.
He stated that India’s move is highly provocative and irresponsible. In a statement, Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the suspension of the treaty constitutes a serious violation of international law and appears to be a deliberate attempt to undermine ongoing peace efforts in the region. He added that India has previously resorted to false flag operations during international visits and on significant occasions to divert global attention from its own atrocities and injustices.
He said that during President Clinton’s visit to India, the Indian government orchestrated a false flag operation, resulting in the bloodshed of innocent Sikhs. Now the same tactic is being repeated in Pahalgam. He said Pakistan was always committed ally in the global fight against terrorism.
Memon stated that Pakistan has lost thousands of its people and security forces in the war on terrorism. From heartbreaking tragedies like the Army Public School attack to the ultimate sacrifice of the great leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, our nation’s list of sacrifices is long and profound.
He added that the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty is not merely a water dispute; it sends a clear message that India is steering the region toward conflict under the guise of asserting power. Pakistan will never tolerate such provocation, he said and added that this move reflects India’s moral bankruptcy and stands as a slap in the face of the international community.
He urged world powers, the United Nations, and human rights organizations to take notice of this grave violation committed by India. Sindh Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani said India, without conducting any investigation into the recent attack in the occupied Kashmir, has escalated tensions in the region.
He stated this while talking to media persons after he inaugurated a three-day International Garments, Textile Machinery, and Accessories Exhibition here at the Expo Centre. He jointly inaugurated the exhibition along with the Italian, Chinese, Turkish and Japanese diplomats.
Ghani was briefed by the organisers of the exhibition that 700 delegates from 30 countries had arrived in Pakistan to participate in the event. Responding to a media person’s query, he said acts of terrorism were condemnable no matter where they took place in the world. He said India should share proof with Pakistan if it believed any Pakistani national was involved in the latest terror incident in the Indian-held Kashmir.
He also condemned the Indian unilateral act of suspending the Indus Basin Treaty between India and Pakistan. He censured the Indian global propaganda campaign against Pakistan without any valid cause.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan chief Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said India is no longer a secular state because it has been ruled by extremist Hindus for over a decade. Speaking at a press conference at his party headquarters in the Bahadurabad area, the MQM chief said the belligerent stance of India would generate devastating effects for the entire region.
He lamented that the stationing of 700,000 security personnel in the Indian-held Kashmir had turned the occupied region into a large-scale prison. Dr Siddiqui reiterated his resolve to keep highlighting human rights violations in the Indian-occupied Kashmir and raising his voice against atrocities committed by the Indian occupation forces. He called upon the world community to ensure the fulfillment of the right to self-determination of the oppressed Kashmiri people.
The MQM chief said India had been acting like an extremist state. He urged the United Nations to declare India a global terrorist because of its grave violations of human rights in the occupied Kashmir.
Dr Siddiqui said the Indian government couldn’t unilaterally withdraw from the Indus Basin Treaty because the World Bank acted as a guarantor of this accord between the two neighbouring nations. He also announced his full support for the decisions taken at the latest meeting of the National Security Committee of Pakistan.
He said the MQM-Pakistan would table a resolution against Indian aggression in the next session of the National Assembly.
