The president of the PPP, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, said Thursday that India was based on the first nuclear war on water with his actions with respect to the Treaty of the Water of the Indo (IWT) with Pakistan.
India maintained the IWT in suspense after the additional deterioration in relations between the two countries after the attack of the pahalgama on April 22 in Cashmira busy. In retaliation, Pakistan decided that he would exercise the right to conclude all bilateral agreements with India, including, among others, the Simla Agreement, in suspense. He also announced the closure of the border with Wagah and the suspension of all trade with New Delhi, among other measures.
Pakistan has launched a wide -based commitment campaign in the United States to present its perspective on the recent peak in tensions with India, and counteract the growing presence of new lobbying of New Delhi there. As part of its global reach, the team will also visit London and Brussels. The delegation includes former foreign ministers Bilawal, Hina Rabbani Khar and Khurram Dastgir; Sherry Rehman, Musadik Malik, Faisal Sabzwari and Bushra Anjum Butt; Together with the superior envoys Jalil Abbas Jilani and Tehmina Janjua.
Going to the Institute of the Middle East in Washington, Bilawal said: “In the era of the climatic challenges that are coming, the shortage of water and the water wars used to be a theory. The Indian that turns off the water supply of Pakistan is placing the foundations for the first nuclear water war. We have said that cutting our water supply would be an act of war.
“We do not say it in a Jingoist way. We do not say it with any taste. It is an existential crisis for us. Any country on the planet, regardless of its size, its strength or its ability, would fight for its survival and struggle for its water.”
Bilawal said India must comply with the IWT and the United States and other countries must adopt a firm posture not to allow the treaty to violate.
“You cannot allow this precedent to be put in the context of Pakistan, because we will fight in the first war, but it will not be the last. If India is allowed to cut our water, that means that each superior riverside with hostilities to a lower riverside now has a white letter.
“And if our dialogue and diplomacy in search of peace are successful, if we want to talk to India, have a positive dialogue with India, make new arrangements, new agreements, perhaps even new treaties with India, then surely they must first comply with the old treaties and resume their decision against the IWT.”
He said Pakistan wanted to continue peace for the benefit of both countries.
Bilawal criticized the Indian government, saying that he had rejected cooperation in terrorism, the offer of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for cooperation to investigate Pahalgam’s attack, the mediation of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, in the current dispute and more dialogue.
“All that it means is that there will be more terrorism, there will be more war, and there will be no peace. The prime minister of India and his government may want to condemn their people to this destiny. I refuse to curse my people, and I refuse to condemn the people of India to this destiny, so my delegation and my delegation and I will travel from capital to capital with a simple message: we want peace. We need your help.”
Working together, Bilawal said India and Pakistan could achieve much more than individually.
“Surely, India and Pakistan who work together, we can eradicate the terrorism of the subcontinent. India and Pakistan who work together can create that conducive environment in Kashmir wide.
“The challenge of climate change and water scarcity is a challenge for Pakistan. It is also a challenge for India. How are we going to face the next decade? We have already experienced devastating floods, droughts and the manifestation of climate change in various forms.
“I think Pakistan and India who work together can also face that challenge. If we do not find ourselves with this occasion, then there is no error, the fault of the butcher shop, the devastation, the scourge, the dispute, will be in the footsteps of Narendra Modi and his government. You have heard today, I do not want to go to repetition.”
Landing even more the current Indian administration, Bilawal said: “Now they are condemning my generation, future generations, not only to fight backmissive, not only to go to a complete war every time there is a terrorist attack, but now we are condemning future generations of Indians and Pakistani to fight for water.
“That is why I have so much confidence, I am so passionate in our cause. I refuse to curse the people of my country and I do not have bad will to the people of India. I refuse to condemn India’s youth that my children and their children will fight for water, on assume, for terrorists.”
