Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday (December 19, 2025) accused India of consistently attempting to undermine the Indus Waters Treaty, claiming the current material breaches strike at the heart of the pact.
Mr. Dar, who is also the Foreign Minister, was addressing the media a day after Pakistan sought clarification from India regarding variations in the flow of the Chenab river.
“We witnessed in April this year India’s unilateral abeyance of the Indus Waters Treaty… But what we are witnessing now is material breaches by India that strike at the heart of the Indus Waters Treaty with escalating consequences both for regional stability and the sanctity of international law,” he said.
