Pakistan is constantly furious after India temporarily suspended the 1960 Indus Water Agreement. From the military officer of Pakistan to the leaders, leaders have been making statements. After Bilawal Bhutto’s recent Indus Water Treaty statement, now Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has also poisoned against India. He has said jackal, saying that Pakistan will not allow even a drop of water of its rights from India. Recently, PAK Army Chief General Asim Munir had also said that if India creates a dam, Pakistan will drop it with missiles. He threatened the nuclear attack and said, if we are drowning, half the world will be drowned. Apart from this, former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto has also made rhetoric on the matter related to the Indus Water Agreement.
Meanwhile, India has started the tender process for the National Hydro Electric Power Project on Chenab River near Indus village in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan is afraid that India may stop water from this project and will have a serious impact on agriculture, irrigation and power generation. Although India’s attitude is clear, this project comes under international standards and India’s jurisdiction. Pakistan’s concern is also increasing with the fact that India is already controlled by the Sutlej, Beas and Ravi rivers and now if India is active on other rivers of the Indus basin, then its water crisis will become serious.
Shehbaz Sharif warns India of “serious consequences” if the Indus Water Treaty is touched… because in Pakistan’s worldview, water is off-limits but exporting militants is fair game.

Pahalgam terrorist attack
Of Jammu and Kashmir Pahalgam After the terrorist attack in April 2025, the Government of India took a major step and temporarily suspended the 1960 Indus Water Agreement. This decision was taken in the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting, which was aimed at teaching Pakistan a lesson to protect terrorism. After this decision, there is a stir at both political and military leadership levels in Pakistan.
Possible crisis for Pakistan
The Indus, Jhelum and Chenab rivers have 80% irrigation and agricultural production of Pakistan. These rivers meet 70% of its water needs. In case of water stopping, sowing and harvesting will be affected both in both kharif and rabi season. There will be a shortage of drinking water in big cities like Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. The textile sector, which holds 60 per cent of the total exports of Pakistan, will also be seriously affected. Pakistan’s 33% of the electricity comes from hydropower, which will also be affected.
1960 Indus Water Agreement: Background
India has got control of Ravi, Vyas and Sutlej under the 1960 Indus Water Agreement in the World Bank’s mediation. Pakistan was given control of Indus, Jhelum and Chenab. Now, the settlement of the agreement and the introduction of new projects is likely to change the balance.
