ISLAMABAD, APR 26 /DNA/ – The Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) has strongly condemned India’s threats to violate the Indus Water Treaty, terming it an act of water aggression against Pakistan and a grave provocation with far-reaching consequences. President ICCI Nasir Mansoor Qureshi and Chairman Founder Group, Tariq Sadiq, in a joint statement issued on Saturday, declared that Pakistan’s entire business community stands firmly united with the State and its armed forces to counter India’s sinister designs.
The ICCI leadership emphasised that the Indus Water Treaty is an internationally recognised agreement that India cannot unilaterally revoke or hold in abeyance. They termed India’s hollow threats as a futile exercise aimed at domestic political consumption, asserting that such reckless moves will only tarnish India’s reputation globally. They also warned that any unilateral action could erode India’s trust among neighbouring countries like Bangladesh and Nepal, who to share critical river basins with India.
Moving beyond water aggression, the ICCI leaders denounced India’s continuous attempts to sabotage regional peace and economic development by sponsoring terrorism and levelling false allegations against Pakistan. They criticised India for deflecting attention from its internal security failures and human rights violations through baseless propaganda against Pakistan.
Reiterating their unwavering resolve, they assured full support for Pakistan’s sovereignty and praised the nation’s brave, professional, and highly motivated defenders. The ICCI stressed that Pakistan remains committed to peace but will respond with full diplomatic, moral, and, if necessary, military strength to any aggression.
The world is watching, and history will judge those who choose hostility over harmony, the ICCI leadership concluded.
The ICCI vehemently condemns this false flag operation and cautions the Indian leadership against pursuing such nefarious designs. We urge India to prioritise resolving its internal problems and promoting regional peace rather than interfering in the affairs of its neighbours.=DNA
