Pakistan has raised concerns over India’s threats to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty and block Pakistan’s water at the 25th session of the OIC Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission in Jeddah.
Speaking at the session focused on “The Right to Water,” Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the OIC, Syed Fawad Sher, highlighted India’s unilateral actions regarding the treaty.
He stressed the legal, moral, and social significance of the right to water, especially for Pakistan, which is already facing severe water scarcity.
Sher warned that India’s rigid stance would further aggravate climate-related challenges in the region. He reminded participants that OIC foreign ministers have already expressed concern over India’s decision, while global voices have also advocated for the continuation of the Indus Waters Treaty.
Sher emphasized that Pakistan will continue to raise the issue at international platforms to safeguard its water rights under the treaty.
