RAWALPINDI: The military's top brass on Monday expressed a resolute commitment to undertake all necessary measures to ensure the availability of Pakistan’s "rightful share of water" amid tensions with India over the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).
For more than six decades, India and Pakistan amicably managed the Indus River system through the IWT transboundary water-sharing agreement signed on September 19, 1960. In April last year,
India suspended the treaty in the wake of the Pahalgam attack.
Last week, Pakistan held an IWT seminar at which the political leadership pledged a robust defence of Pakistan’s rights under the treaty through all available legal and diplomatic means, warning that any attempt to deprive the country of its share of water would have “profound consequences for regional peace and security”.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir presided over the 276th Corps Commanders’ Conference (CCC) at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.
The statement said that the forum took note of Indian rhetoric surrounding the IWT and reaffirmed the guidance issued in the National Security Committee’s directive of April 24, 2025.
“It expressed a resolute commitment to undertake all measures necessary to ensure the availability of Pakistan’s rightful share of water as per the directives of the Government and the aspirations of the people of Pakistan,” ISPR said.
The statement further added that the forum expressed serious concerns over the continued use of territory under the control of the Afghan Taliban regime by Indian sponsored terrorist groups, including
Fitna-al Khawarij and
Fitna-al Hindustan to orchestrate attacks inside Pakistan.
