Pakistan holds India responsible for flood devastation

United Nations: Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar, has held India responsible for flood devastation in Pakistan and called on the international community to endorse Pakistan’s stance against Indian water aggression.

Speaking at a key session on the Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan’s water challenges, Asim Iftikhar highlighted that floods in Pakistan had destroyed crops and displaced thousands of people. He warned that India must not use water as a weapon.

The envoy expressed confidence that the global community would stand by Pakistan at this critical juncture.
