India committing water terrorism by unilaterally suspending Indus Waters Treaty: Nisar Khuhro

A protest rally led by President Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh, Nisar Khuhro was held against what the party described as the "theft" of Indus River water, under the slogan

KARACHI, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Jul, 2026) A protest rally led by President Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh, Nisar Khuhro was held against what the party described as the "theft" of Indus River water, under the slogan: "We will die, but we will not give up the Indus."

The protest rally marched from Lyari to Musa Lane, Lyari Gate.

PPP leaders and workers including Yousuf Baloch, Javed Nagori, Rauf Nagori, Khalil Hoat and a large number of male and female party workers participated in the rally.

Participants carried placards and chanted slogans rejecting what they called the "theft" of Sindh's water.

Addressing the rally, Nisar Khuhro said that if injustices over the Indus River water continued, PPP Sindh would launch the third phase of its protest movement by holding divisional-level public rallies across Sindh.

"Today, protests against the theft of Indus River water were held at 130 locations across Sindh," Khuhro said.

"Water is life, and life cannot continue without water. We will not allow anyone to take away our lives," he said adding, "The Indus River flows through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Balochistan.

He said that the water of the Indus River were under attack from every direction.

On one hand, India was committing water terrorism by unilaterally suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and conspiring to stop the flow of the Indus River and on the other hand, the 1991 Water Apportionment Accord was not being implemented, and Sindh was not receiving its rightful share of water, he said.

The PPP leader said that Water allocated to Sindh was being diverted by continuously operating the Chashma-Jhelum Link Canal, Taunsa-Panjnad Link Canal and Jalalpur Canal in an unconstitutional manner, Khuhro alleged.

He said that the TP and CJ canals were meant to carry water only during flood conditions, but water was being released into these link canals continuously in an attempt to turn Sindh barren.

Sindh is already suffering and these injustices against the province must stop.

He said that shortage of water in Sindh has severely affected crops, causing significant economic losses to the province.
