Union Minister Shekhawat slams Pakistan for violating Indus water treaty rules

Months after Delhi issued a notification to Pakistan for modification of the Indus Waters Treat, Pakistan has finally responded to India’s notice seeking an amendment to the bilateral agreement that was signed in September 1960. According to MEA, Pakistan Foreign Ministry has forwarded a letter that was written by Pakistan`s Indus Water Commissioner to its Indian counterpart. Citing Islamabad’s "intransigence" in handling disputes, India said that it will "examine the letter and consult the stakeholders." Meanwhile, Union Minister Gajendra Shekhawat slandered Pakistan for its "dual precedence" in the "purest" treaty.
