WASHINGTON D.C: Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Rizwan Saeed Sheikh said that India’s approach to the Indus Waters Treaty reflects a pattern of lawlessness.
Interacting with various media outlets in Washington, Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh said the Indus Waters Treaty has no provision for unilateral termination or holding it in abeyance.
He said the international community will not lend its support to illegal and inhumane act of using water as a weapon.
He further said Indian leadership’s statements reflect the terrorist mindset of Hindutva ideology.
He said the map of Akhand Bharat in the Indian Parliament reflects hegemonic mentality and sinister intentions.
The Ambassador said Indian leadership’s use of the “Pakistan card” for domestic needs and stoking nationalism is an extremely dangerous approach. He said India’s role in Balochistan is not secret now.
Pakistan’s Ambassador said the United States has played a key role in ceasefire between India and Pakistan and President Donald Trump is a proponent of peace.
Rizwan Saeed Sheikh said Pakistan appreciates the U.S. President’s efforts toward resolving the Kashmir issue. He expressed the hope that these efforts will continue and the issue will be resolved as per the established framework.
