Minister of State for Finance and Railways, Bilal Azhar Kayani on Friday welcomed the UN special report, stating it validates Pakistan’s long-standing position on India’s violations, including the unlawful suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and termed it a major development for Pakistan, adding that India violated UN resolutions and should apologize to Pakistan for its actions.
In an exclusive interview with a local media channel, Bilal Azhar Kayani spoke vehemently about the recent UN report on the Indus Waters Treaty violations.
He emphasized that the report, particularly on page 11, acts as a clear charge sheet against India, detailing its unlawful actions.
Kayani pointed out that the report does not just highlight India’s suspension of the treaty but categorically states that India has made unfounded accusations against Pakistan, including claims of war and violations, without providing any credible evidence to support these allegations.
Kayani went on to stress that the UN report serves as an irrefutable document holding India accountable for its
actions.
He called for global recognition of these violations and urged international bodies to press India to offer a formal apology to Pakistan.
According to Kayani, India’s attempts to shift blame without evidence must not be allowed to go unchallenged and Pakistan deserves immediate justice for these ongoing violations.
Minister described the recent UN report as “damning evidence” of India’s blatant disregard for the Indus Waters Treaty, adding, the report not only exposes India’s violation of international law but also serves as irrefutable proof of its ongoing attempts to undermine Pakistan’s water rights, calling for global recognition and accountability for India’s actions.
To another query, Minister Bilal Azhar stated that Pakistan will continue its discussions on Kashmir, with the UN report serving as a powerful reinforcement of Pakistan’s stance on the issue.
Kayani highlighted that this report not only strengthens Pakistan’s position on the Indus Waters Treaty but also bolsters its broader narrative on Kashmir and other grievances against India.
He emphasized that the findings validate Pakistan’s long-standing concerns about India’s disregard for international agreements and its aggressive actions in the region, providing further evidence to support Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts.
