"BrahMos hai humaare paas": Asaduddin Owaisi slams Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif for remarks on Indus Water Treaty

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 13 (ANI): AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday slammed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif over his remarks on the Indus Water Treaty.
Responding to Sharif's "enemy cannot snatch even a single drop of water from Pakistan" statement, Owaisi said, "BrahMos hai humaare paas" (We have BrahMos missile).
"He should not talk such nonsense... Such threats will have no effect on India. Enough is enough," the AIMIM MP told the reporters.
This comes after Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday claimed that any attempt to stop the flow of water into Pakistan is in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty, and would be met with a "decisive response".
Addressing an event in Islamabad, he said: "Enemy (India) can't snatch even a single drop of water from Pakistan.
"He said, "You threatened to stop our water. If you attempt such a move, Pakistan will teach you a lesson you will never forget."
Shehbaz emphasised that water was a lifeline for Pakistan, and no compromise would be made on the country's rights under international agreements, as per Geo News.
Following the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April, which killed 26 people, India has, in exercise of its rights as a sovereign nation under international law, placed the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism.
The Indus Waters Treaty was signed in 1960, following nine years of negotiations between India and Pakistan, with the assistance of the World Bank, which is also a signatory.
The Treaty allocates the Western Rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) to Pakistan and the eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) to India.
At the same time, the Treaty allows each country certain uses of the rivers allocated to the other. The treaty gives India 20 per cent of the water from the Indus River System and the rest 80 per cent to Pakistan. (ANI)
