Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif threatened war with India if it faces extreme water scarcity due to the suspended Indus Waters Treaty. India maintains its tough stance, linking water supply to Pakistan’s support for terrorism, as Pakistan grapples with a severe water crisis affecting its economy and regions like Sindh.
Threatening India over the suspended Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif recently said that Islamabad would “go to war” against New Delhi if it faces extreme water scarcity.
Pakistan is facing a growing water crisis that is putting agriculture, livelihoods, and regional economies under pressure, particularly in Sindh and parts of Balochistan. The situation has become more serious in the months following India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack.
