Pakistan’s former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari Monday said his country will go to war if India denies Islamabad its fair share of water under the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT).

India put in abeyance the 1960 agreement soon after the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 people. Home Minister Amit Shah last week announced to never restore the historic accord.

Bilawal’s comments came two days after Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry criticised Shah’s “brazen disregard” for international agreements.

Bilawal, in a speech in parliament, rejected the Indian decision to suspend the agreement and threatened to get Pakistan’s share of water.

“India has two options: share water fairly, or we will deliver water to us from all six rivers,” he said referring to the six rivers of the Indus basin.
