Pakistan is facing an acute water crisis amid escalating tensions with India over water resources, particularly concerning the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb emphasized the urgency of water reforms and warned India against using water as a weapon, stating that any attempt to block water flow would provoke a full response. Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, leading a parliamentary and diplomatic delegation in the UK, highlighted the threat posed by India's interference in the flow of Pakistani rivers, which endangers approximately 240 million lives. He accused India of sabotaging peace efforts led by former U.S.

President Donald Trump and warned that suspending the IWT could increase the risk of nuclear conflict. Bilawal stressed that stopping water supplies should be considered an act of war and called for dialogue and cooperation with India to combat terrorism and resolve issues. Reports indicate that two key Pakistani dams have reached 'dead storage' levels due to reduced inflows from India, exacerbating the water shortage during the Kharif season. Bilawal also criticized Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's aggressive rhetoric and reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to peace despite India's warlike stance. Pakistani officials maintain that India cannot legally suspend the IWT and urged a return to negotiations. The delegation has engaged with Western governments and think tanks to raise awareness of the regional instability caused by India's actions. Bilawal reiterated that Pakistan's position is strong and based on truth, and warned that accepting India's suspension of the treaty would amount to conceding defeat in a potential conflict.
