Pakistan on Thursday condemned India for violating the Indus Waters Treaty and taking unilateral actions affecting river flows. Addressing the weekly briefing, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said Pakistan had concerns over abrupt variations in the flow of the Chenab River, stressing that unilateral actions violate the principles of the Indus Waters Treaty and endanger bilateral cooperation. The spokesperson said Pakistan remains a responsible state committed to regional peace, but India\u2019s actions pose serious risks to stability. \u201cUnilateral measures regarding rivers are unacceptable and threaten the security and peace of the region,\u201d he said. The spokesperson called on the international community to take notice of India\u2019s aggressive policies and treaty violations. Referring to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar\u2019s attempt to pull down a female doctor\u2019s hijab, the spokesperson denounced the discriminatory treatment of minorities in India. The spokesperson stressed that religious freedom and the protection of minority rights must be ensured. \u201cWe strongly denounce the derogatory behaviour of Bihar\u2019s Chief Minister, which reflects a broader pattern of discrimination against minorities in India,\u201d he added. On regional security, Andrabi expressed Pakistan\u2019s concern over the continued presence of terrorist elements in Afghanistan, noting that these groups pose a grave threat to peace and stability in the region. He said reports from the UN Security Council validated Pakistan\u2019s position, highlighting groups such as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other foreign terrorist networks operating in Afghanistan. \u201cThese terrorist elements are the main obstacle to Pakistan-Afghanistan relations. Cross-border tensions, lack of ceasefire, border closures, and suspension of trade are all linked to terrorism,\u201d he said, emphasising that Pakistan\u2019s concerns are fully aligned with international reports. Responding to media reports regarding Field Marshal Asim Muni\u2019s expected visit to the United States, Andrabi clarified that the news was incorrect and that no official visit had been scheduled. The spokesperson said that Pakistan is presenting its position on key issues on all regional and international forums and working for lasting peace and stability in South Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
