President Asif Ali Zardari expressed concern over India’s handling of shared water resources, saying New Delhi could use water as a weapon.

Speaking on the occasion of World Water Day, Zardari condemned India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and voiced reservations over disruptions in hydrological data sharing.

He called for the full implementation of the treaty, which guarantees fair distribution of water in the region.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also accused India of violating the Indus Waters Treaty, warning that such actions could threaten regional water security.

Pakistan is facing growing challenges of water scarcity, a situation exacerbated by climate change, officials say.
