PM calls meeting to review Indus Water Treaty
September 25, 2016
New Delhi: As the pressure on the government increases to act on Pakistan-sponsored massacre of 18 soldiers at Uri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called a meeting on Monday of all those concerned with the Indus Water Treaty.
The Prime Minister, according to sources, will discuss the pros and cons of the treaty+ with the officials.
The treaty is often considered to be too one-sided and there has been growing clamour to relook at it. Just the other day, the spokesperson of the external affairs ministry had said that “mutual trust and cooperation” was important for such a treaty to work. “For any such treaty to work, it’s important that there must be mutual cooperation and trust between both the sides. It cannot be a one-sided affair+ ,” he had said cryptically when asked if the government will rethink on the treaty.
