Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, addressed the British-Pakistani Lawyers Forum regarding India’s unlawful attempt to unilaterally suspend the #IndusWatersTreaty – an action that constitutes both a red line and an existential threat to Pakistan’s 240 million citizens. In his address, the DPM/FM emphasized that the 1960 World Bank brokered agreement, which governs 80 percent of Pakistan’s freshwater resources and sustains the lives of 240 million people, cannot be unilaterally suspended or held in abeyance. He underscored the treaty’s critical importance to Pakistan’s water security and ecological stability. The attending lawyers unanimously condemned India’s actions as a form of “water warfare,” and committed to establishing a UK-based legal task force. The task force will focus on defending Pakistan’s rights under the treaty and mobilizing international legal and diplomatic support. This meeting marked the third gathering of the British-Pakistani Lawyers Forum, an initiative launched by the Pakistan High Commission in London

in collaboration with Barrister Amjad Malik.
