Blocking water will bring decades-long consequences, DG ISPR warns India

Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry issued a stern warning to India against any attempt to block Pakistan’s water supply, stating that such an action would have consequences felt for decades.

In an interview with an international media outlet on ‘Operation Ma’arka-e-Haq’, the DG ISPR said that Pakistan’s government has already conveyed a clear stance on the water issue, adding that it requires no further elaboration from the military.

“Nobody should dare to stop Pakistan’s water. We hope such a time never comes, but if it does, the world will witness our actions,” Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry added. He dismissed the notion of India halting water for Pakistan’s 240 million people as an act only a “madman” would contemplate, asserting India lacks the courage to do so.

“Our message is clear, we want peace, but if India violates our sovereignty, our reply will be immediate and conclusive. We never target civilians or their populations,” he said. The DG ISPR said that Pakistan and its military prefer peace but warned of a swift and decisive response to any Indian aggression.

Consequences for Pakistan, not India.

Exactly. And honestly, I’m shocked that the usual herd of brain-dead super green sycophants on PP haven’t (yet) come charging in, waving their super green swords to defend that “holy, innocent, never-hurt-a-fly” cockroach otherwise known as Masood Azhar ... as if strapping a beard on a butcher would suddenly transform him into a saint.

These are the same degenerates who would gladly throw rose petals if he strolled out holding a Quran in one hand and a severed head in the other ... because in their rotted little cult and the festering little echo chamber, terrorism isn't a crime as long as it's aimed across the border.​

Welcome to the mad world of very well educated Jihadis !!!

Pakistan is a lost cause, I have said this for years. They are finished, no coming back from the massive hole they have dug for themselves....

Best for India to keep moving forward with their economic development, I would say let Pakistsn do their mischief till India becomes a 15 - 20 trillion dollar economy. After that we can start with the stoppages of water, in the meantime finish the dam... Make India a partner the world can't live without for manufacturing, services, software etc then India will be able to do what it wants to Pakistan as rest of the world will interefere less or keep a blind eye to their requests.

Till then just sit tight, swallow the pride, and have the atmost patience when they do their dirty acts...

If it's any consolation, Pakistan will most likely screw themselves even more during the period of India's further economic development.... Pakistan is one of those countries that you should not disturb while they do one buffonery after the other, most likely prophet Asim Munir will be overthrown from his position soon....

Pakistan must recognize that the Indus Waters Treaty was signed by Bharat in a spirit of goodwill and generosity, with the hope that it would pave the way for peaceful and cooperative relations. Despite this, Pakistan continues to benefit from the lion’s share of the Indus River waters, an arrangement that remains largely unchanged due to the massive infrastructural and financial investments required to alter it significantly.

However, it is high time we make it clear: we will no longer allow our goodwill to be taken for granted. While Pakistan persists in harboring and sponsoring terrorism that targets innocent Indian civilians and tourists, it cannot expect business as usual on critical issues like water. The principle is simple—blood and water cannot flow together.

Pakistan’s hollow threats will no longer be entertained. If challenged, Bharat is fully prepared to defend its interests, anywhere, anytime, and at any cost.

Pakistan must cease being a sanctuary and sponsor of terrorism in the region.

Which Kashmir dispute she is talking about? Is it about POK?

nope, its about POK "and" Balochistan

The dams if they are built will have to be hit with high payload ballistic missiles. Hopefully Indian defences don't hold up, because the next step would be nukes, and I don't think there is much defence against those.

Do you realize that with the dams being hit the downstream flooding will be catastrophic for Pak ?? And then again open top Afridi type celebrations, yay we won we won we broke the dam etc

Modi says Pakistan will not get water from Indian-controlled rivers

Pakistan will not get water from rivers over which India has rights, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, upping the rhetoric in a standoff over water access triggered by a deadly attack in Indian Kashmir.

Pakistan's chief legal officer, in an interview with Reuters, responded that Islamabad remained willing to discuss water sharing between the neighbours but said India must stick to a decades-old treaty.

India said last month it was suspending the Indus Waters Treaty in a slew of measures after the April 22 attack in Indian Kashmir that New Delhi blamed on Islamabad - a charge Pakistan dismisses.

Any move to stop Pakistan accessing the water would have a devastating impact. The Indus treaty, negotiated by the World Bank in 1960, guarantees water for 80% of Pakistan's farms from three rivers that flow from India.

The nuclear-armed neighbours have already clashed in their worst military fighting in nearly three decades before agreeing to a ceasefire on May 10.

"Pakistan will have to pay a heavy price for every terrorist attack ... Pakistan's army will pay it. Pakistan's economy will pay it," Modi said at a public event in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, which borders Pakistan.

"Pakistan is willing to talk about or to address anything, any concerns they may have," Pakistan's Attorney General, Mansoor Usman Awan, told Reuters.

He said India had written to Pakistan in recent weeks, citing population growth and clean energy needs as reasons to modify the treaty. But he said any discussions would have to take part under the terms of the treaty.

Islamabad maintains the treaty is legally binding and no party can unilaterally suspend it, Awan said.

"As far as Pakistan is concerned, the treaty is very much operational, functional, and anything which India does, it does at its own cost and peril as far as the building of any hydroelectric power projects are concerned," he added.

The ceasefire between the countries has largely held. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said there were no current exchanges of fire and "there has been some repositioning of forces accordingly".

"The (military) operation continues because there is a clear message ... that if there are acts of the kind we saw on April 22, there will be a response. We will hit the terrorists," Jaishankar told Dutch news outlet NOS.

"If the terrorists are in Pakistan, we will hit them where they are," he added.

India and Pakistan have shared a troubled relationship since they were carved out of British India in 1947, and have fought three wars, two of them over the Himalayan region of Kashmir, which they both claim in full but rule in part.

India accuses Pakistan of backing Islamist separatists in Kashmir, a claim Islamabad denies.

Five people, including three children were killed in a suicide bomb blast on an army school bus in Pakistan's restive Balochistan province on Wednesday. Pakistan's prime minister and military accused "Indian terror proxies" of involvement, which India rejected.

Both nations have retaliated since the April attack by halting trade, closing borders and suspending most visas.

For all the Indians celebrating all this on this thread...
Pakistan has repeatedly said they won't accept this and that it's an act of war.

What on earth makes you believe Pakistan won't attack those dams since you've taken away all diplomatic options? You'll call it terrorism when those dams are bombed but if you starve a population of water...you think there won't be any repercussions? You couldn't stop an incursion into Pahalgam (at least if India is to be believed). What makes you think Pakistan won't find a way to destroy those dams?

Based on what I'm seeing Pakistan will request international intervention but once they've decided there are no other options they will simply do what they feel they must. I doubt you'll like it.

India has become a nation of duffers and are evolving back to the neanderthal stage, they want to stop the water supply to a nation that has over 250 million people.

Your boy, the Butcher of Gujrat, has already lost it if he has to make such threats. Y'all better wake up other wise that 4th largest economy y'all repeat like parrots won't do much for y'all.

Sanghis were also celebrating when Palestinian women and children were dying. Absolute scumbags.

I think India is digging a big hole for themselves. They have no military ally. Their military is incompetent. Their narratives worldwide are failing. They have many regional adversaries.

These water wars have been predicted for a long time. Looking at the times- appears that day has come.

Do tell, Sanatani Bhaijan-what is your response to this? Will you commit more violence? If the dam bursts, will you try to build more dams? Will you start bombing Pakistan for keeping their promise?

Violence begets violence, this is true. Pakistan has committed violence. India is now also committing violence. Who will be the one to stop the cycle?

It’s better that you’re talking reason now. We can always have a discussion about this and the matter will be discussed in court now.

But these kind of bombing threats we don’t entertain. We are war ready country and no country can get us to do anything through such threats. One bomb at one of these dams will be retaliated disproportionately.

Having said that, water is a human necessity and I don’t believe in water terrorism. I hope the countries are able to rebooting more fair terms for water sharing. The IWT was very unfair to our nation and was only adhered to in the spirit of peace prospects. Now that there is no relationship with Pakistan and it is a declared enemy nation, we will no longer honour an unfair arrangement like that. Our people too have equal right on the water 80% of which goes to Pakistan

The Indian water minister’s warning was rhetoric and bluster.

India are not in a position to be a bully in the region. They have no military ally. International community don't back them. They are no match to China and Pakistan have a more capable military than them.

Pakistanis on Weekends: How dare Hitler Modi stop our water. We will go to warrrrr

Since Pak won the war and awarded failed marshall to munir..I wonder why he didn't use the complete pad air dominance to ensure these three things

India water cannot be voided
Kashmir discussion back on table
International mediation...

It's common sense to force the defeatedparty to accept the terms..
Instead we see based on fire, IWT used as carrot and stick, and Kashmir out of any discussion...

So either the hypothesis is false or the outcome is not as desired

Holding Indus treaty in abeyance has no legal cover, says minister

Federal Minister for Water Resources Muhammad Moeen Wattoo has warned India that holding the Indus Water Treaty (IWC) in abeyance unilaterally is “absolutely unlawful and an act of war”.

He further said that the treaty still exists despite New Delhi holding it in abeyance “unilaterally and illegally”.

“The words ‘holding in abeyance’ used by India doesn’t exist anywhere in the law. Therefore, the Indus Water Treaty exist as it is, as these words cannot abolish it,” Mr Wattoo said while speaking at a seminar on Saturday.

“Holding the treaty in abeyance is absolutely illegal immoral. It is a violation of all international agreements,” the minister added.

Talking about the background of the issue, the federal minister said the correspondence between the two countries were underway since 2024.

India wrote a letter to Pakistan, seeking some modification in the treaty under the Article 12 (3) of the treaty. Under the treaty, the minor issues related to water can be discussed and resolved on the level of commissioner of Indus waters representing Pakistan and India under Articles 8 to 11. But if the issues are more important, these can be discussed and resolved by both the parties, Pakistan and India.

“In its April 8 letter, they [India] sought us to tell the place where parties can sit and discuss the issue [related to modification]. In the letter, they also asked us to respond till May 8. But on April 24, India unilaterally suspended it,” he revealed, adding that holding treaty in abeyance doesn’t have any legal cover.

“The treaty cannot be held in abeyance or suspended unilaterally by anyone. It cannot be changed, modified, amended or cancelled by anyone. The treaty still exists.”

Mr Wattoo said Pakistan also wrote in response to India’s letter, stating to sit and discuss.

“We told them for holding negotiations on this, saying to reach results if we reach mutual understandings. But the aggression India did by taking action unilaterally is equal to act of war. The water is our lifeline and on this issue, we can neither compromise nor show any flexibility,” the minister warned.

“Currently, Pakistan is receiving normal flow of water from Indian side,” he said.

Talking about the canals issue in the country, Mr Wattoo said he wrote to all provinces to come forward and devise an action plan in this regard. “We have told the provinces to constitute a committee of independent experts and take a final decision mutually. In this way, the misunderstandings on the part of provinces would also be no more,” he maintained.

Former Indus water commissioner Asif Baig said that India had transboundary agreements on water with China, Nepal, Bangladesh and other neighbours. “Because China is sitting on upstream level from where water flows down to Indian located at downstream position. Similarly, in Pakistan case, India is on upstream location which is being bragged by Indian government. If India dubbing its upstream status as authority to stop water follow to Pakistan transgressing treaty, then what will happen if China and other upstream country block flow of water to India,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, former Indus Water commissioner, Sheraz Memon said that even if India tried to block water flow toward Pakistan, it would be an exercise in futility due to the country’s insufficient capacity to water maneuverability.

“IWT survived in Pak-India two wars and barrage of terrorism allegations,” he said and suggested that sagacity demanded that treaty should go unaffected in all worst scenarios.

Former Punjab irrigation minister Mohsin Laghari categorically ruled out any one-sided suspension of IWT. He said if India was given liberty to do so, none of international treaties would stand exist and will lose their holistic merits.

“If India remains hell-bent on [stopping the flow of water coming to Pakistan], it will cost billions of dollars to build the infrastructure on rivers,” he added.

India are not in a position to be a bully in the region. They have no military ally. International community don't back them. They are no match to China and Pakistan have a more capable military than them.

I know neither you nor the person you were responding to are exactly the sharpest tools in the shed, but I’ll still attempt to bring some clarity to this discussion.

The objectives of war for India and Israel are fundamentally different. Israel is fighting for its very survival, in the middle of Arab world and dealing with a terrorist group—Hamas—that effectively functions as the government in Gaza. Their strategy involves long-term, full-scale military operations aimed at completely dismantling threats, and their ability to sustain such efforts is heavily backed by unwavering U.S. and Western support.

India’s approach, by contrast, has always been more measured. The goal was never to engage in prolonged warfare but to strike specific terrorist camps and send a strong message. The conflict only extended over several days because Pakistan chose to escalate. Once that happened, India had no choice but to respond decisively.

The fact that India launched missile strikes 50 kilometers deep into mainland Pakistan, a nuclear-armed state, targeting terrorist infrastructure, is itself a bold and unprecedented move. No other country has carried out such a direct conventional attack on another nuclear-armed nation without triggering full-scale war. Most wars globally occur between nuclear and non-nuclear states. India broke that mold with confidence and precision.

India has every reason to be proud of that operation. It was strategic, controlled, and sent a powerful message without letting the situation spiral out of control.
