Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has threatened war against India over water security after New Delhi reaffirmed that the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty remains unchanged following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. Speaking to ARY News, Asif said Pakistan would consider military action if it believed India was moving at an “alarming speed” to disrupt water supplies. He accused India of “weaponising water” but admitted lacking updated information. The remarks come amid Pakistan’s worsening domestic water crisis, with severe shortages affecting Sindh and Balochistan. Official data shows major canal deficits, while local leaders warn of an escalating economic and agricultural catastrophe nationwide.
