Indus Basin Water Council Pakistan Chairman Hafiz Zahoorul Hassan Dahir said on Monday that the governments in the past handed the river system to India and Jewish lobby just to prolong their rule.
"Pakistan will convert into a desert in the coming four years,if an emergency plan is not prepared to counter the Indian water aggression," he said while addressing a press briefing.
According to the Barcelona Convention 1921,to which India is also a signatory,no country has the right to seize the river water and change its direction,Dahir said,adding that India through water terrorism had destroyed Pakistan's economy. He also came down hard on the government for its failure to rescue the Pakistani citizens from the water aggression of India. He said the Indian Planning Commission had allocated $120 billion for dropping a "water bomb" on Pakistan and now this amount has been raised to $380 billion. Under this plan,India plans to divert the water of Indus,Chenab and Jhelum rivers from north to south,he said. To store all the water in its territory,he said,India has completed 62 big and small dams,31 dams are near completion and construction work is being carried out on 190 other dams.
He said it will be the biggest water robbery of the world when India will completely block all the water coming to Pakistan by diverting it to Bangalore,Rajasthan and Laddakh in India.
He warned that if an emergency plan was not prepared to foil the Indian plan,Pakistan would convert into a desert in the coming four years.
