MULTAN - The Sindh Taas Water Council (STWC) has decided to launch a drive to protect Pakistani rivers from illegal Indian occupation and the movement will start from Multan from February 23.
This was announced by STWC Chairman Zahoorul Hassan Dahar here on Thursday. Talking to the media persons, he said that the drive would be launched under the banner of ‘Darya Bachawo Tehreek’ from Multan Press Club. He added that the gamut of the movement would be spread to national and international levels. “We’ll raise voice against Indian violation of Indus Basin Water Treaty at all international forums. We’ll continue our struggle until we get our right,” he resolved.
“It is high time that we make new generation aware of the gravity of the situation. The youth needs to come out to unveil the faces of facilitators of India,” he added. He asked the youngsters to take to the roads and unveil Indian, American and Jewish conspiracy against Pakistan. He said that different activities would be held in all big and small towns of Pakistan to tell the masses about Indian water aggression and our rulers’ criminal silence on this issue of life and death.
He said that under no law or rule the rivers could be fully blocked but India committed this aggression against Pakistan and dried all the rivers coming down to this country. He added that many rivers in world were shared by several countries and no one tried to block entire water flow. “Even the countries located at the tale get bigger water share than the countries at the start,” he cited examples.
