Islamabad: Political analysts have revealed that India is engaged in water terrorism against Pakistan by releasing water from its dams suddenly and without prior notice, under the guise of climate change, thereby causing destruction across Pakistan.
According to Kashmir Media Service, analysts noted that this water aggression has devastated crops and endangered human lives in Pakistan. They described it as part of a secret strategy aimed at undermining peace in the region. They stressed that in the tense and complex relationship between Pakistan and India, water has silently emerged as a destructive weapon. The rivers flowing from India into Pakistan, which serve as lifelines for millions of farmers and communities, have been turned into tools of coercion and devastation by New Delhi.
Analysts said India deliberately destabilizes Pakistan’s water security by suddenly releasing water from dams, falsely attributing it to climate variability. These actions are not mere consequences of unpredictable weather patterns but are calculated assaults designed to inflict maximum damage on Pakistan. Through these deliberate releases, fields are flooded, irrigation systems disrupted, poor communities displaced, and the agricultural economy crippled. India attempts to conceal these hostile actions under the pretext of climate change to evade international scrutiny and criticism.
They added that using transboundary natural water resources as instruments of political coercion and economic destruction constitutes water terrorism. The sudden floods in Punjab and Sindh are not natural disasters but clear demonstrations of water being used as a weapon of war, exposing India’s intent. Behind this policy lies India’s ambition to gain control over the rivers under the Indus Waters Treaty and weaponize them under the cover of climate change. This conduct undermines the guarantees of the Indus Waters Treaty and places regional peace at grave risk.
The consequences of such water terrorism are not only human and material devastation but also environmental degradation and rising mistrust, which heighten the danger of conflict between the two nuclear powers. To end this campaign of water terrorism, analysts urged the international community to ensure transparency, proper water flow management, independent monitoring, and strict adherence to water distribution agreements. Only through accountability and cooperative water management can water be transformed from a weapon into a symbol of peace.
