Bharatiya Kisan Union President Naresh Tikait on Monday called the government's decision to suspend the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan a "wrong decision," saying that "every farmer needs water."
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.
Former Union Minister and Congress leader Saifuddin Soz said that if Pakistan claims it was not involved in the Pahalgam terror attack, then India should accept that for the time being and ultimately rely on the findings of investigating agencies.
Commenting on water-sharing agreements with Bangladesh, Dubey criticised the 1996 Ganga water treaty signed during the Congress government's tenure, calling it a wrong decision.
"Blood is already flowing in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda is beating them from one side and Afghanistan from the other... We have already shown them what we can do. He is still a child like he was earlier. It is Pakistan's old habit to make such futile statements," Ghosh told reporters here.
Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the loss of 26 lives, the World Sindhi Congress has sharply condemned Pakistan's role in "sponsoring terrorism" and accused it of longstanding injustices against Sindh's people regarding Indus water.
"We have heard many such threats for many years. Bilawal Bhutto might have forgotten history. India once broke Pakistan into two pieces, and he should remember that," Majumdar said on Saturday
Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai criticised Pakistan People's Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto over his statement regarding the Indus Water Treaty. Rai said that strict action must be taken on the statements coming from Pakistan as this situation is becoming uncontrollable day by day.
His remarks came after the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which 26 people were killed, after which India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, leading Bhutto to resort to empty rhetoric.
