Adding to a series of brazen threats, Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the country would “destroy" any structure built by India to divert water meant for Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty.
India had suspended the decades-long treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Under the treaty, 80% of the Indus waters went to Pakistan, and India used 20%.
Asif continued his warmonger tactics as border tensions remain high amid buzz of a possible military retaliation by India, and said that any diversion of water would be viewed as “aggression against Pakistan".
“That will be aggression against Pakistan… even if they made an architectural attempt of this kind, then Pakistan will destroy that structure," the Pakistan minister said when asked what Islamabad’s reaction would be if New Delhi constructs dams on the Indus basin.
Earlier, Asif had threatened an “all-out war" between India and Pakistan over the issue of Kashmir.
