Pakistan has sent a letter to the President of the United Nations Security Council accusing India of violating the Indus Water Treaty. The letter was delivered by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmed, on behalf of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Dar urged the Security Council to take up the matter, warning that India’s actions threaten Pakistan’s water security, regional stability, and international peace.
According to the ambassador’s social media post, the letter specifically drew attention to two Indian projects allegedly designed to withdraw water from the Chenab River. Pakistan claims these projects could have dangerous effects on its water, food, and economic security, as well as on regional and global stability. The letter seeks urgent consideration of these concerns by the Security Council.
The report, citing the newspaper Dawn, highlights Pakistan’s call for international intervention to address what it views as a serious breach of the long-standing water-sharing agreement between the two neighboring countries.
