‘Covering up its own failings’: India shreds Pakistan's 'will go to war' remarks over Indus Water Treaty

India has dismissed Pakistan's recent claims that it might go to war over the Indus Water Treaty, accusing Pakistan of covering up its own failures in managing water resources. Pakistan's former minister, Khwaja Asif, had suggested a potential conflict, but India's response emphasized that Pakistan's threats were a diversionary tactic. This spat highlights the ongoing tensions between the two nations over water resource management and underscores the broader geopolitical stakes, as disputes over water can escalate into larger conflicts. The Indus Water Treaty, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, remains a critical but contentious issue in Indo-Pak relations.
