HYDERABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 4th Jul, 2026) Sindh Minister for Irrigation Jam Khan Shoro has that India by suspending provision of Hydrological data and agreement about water unilaterally is violating Indus water treaty which is the biggest threat to the peace and stability of entire region.

Addressing an important and urgent press conference here at Hyderabad Press Club on Saturday, Irrigation Minister warned India in stern words and said that any attempt to stop water of Pakistan or divert its direction will be considered as aggression

While quoting the past, the minister said that immediately after the establishment of Pakistan in 1947, water was used as a political weapon to weaken the newly established state, but the Pakistani nation thwarted these conspiracies with its steadfastness.

He further said that Pakistan has always respected the Sindh Basin Agreement, which allowed India to use the eastern rivers within the parameters of the agreement, but India changed the direction of the water of these rivers on a large scale, which caused environmental degradation, reduction in the flow of fresh water and vast agricultural lands, including the Indus Delta.

The minister further said that Sindh will suffer the most in the event of an obstruction.

The minister said that India has stopped providing the necessary hydrological data under the agreement, which has made it difficult to monitor the flow of water.

He said that Pakistan will fully defend its national interests instead of relying on international forums because the state will not allow its 24 crore people to be deprived of water and will go to any extent to protect its water rights and national sovereignty
