India will never restore the contract with Islamabad on the supply of water from the Indus, the water coming to Pakistan, will be set aside for domestic use. This was stated in an interview with the Times of India by Interior Minister Amit Shah, according to Reuters.
"No, it will never be restored. We will deliver the water that flowed in Pakistan, in Rajasthan (northwestern Indian state. — EADaily) by building a channel. Pakistan will experience a shortage of water, which it receives unreasonably," Shah said.
The comments of Shah, the most influential minister in the cabinet of Narendra Modi, overshadowed Islamabad's hopes for negotiations on the treaty in the near future, the agency said.
India "postponed" its participation in the 1960 treaty, which regulates the use of the Indus River system, after the killing of 26 civilians in Indian Kashmir. The agreement guaranteed access to water for 80% of Pakistan's farms through three rivers originating in India.
It is noted that Islamabad is exploring the possibility of a legal challenge to India's decision to suspend the treaty in accordance with international law.
