Sir — The Indus waters treaty (IWT), signed between Pakistan and India, on September 19, 1960, is one of the most liberal water-sharing pacts in the world, which has survived the test of time and even three India-Pakistan wars.
Any change in the IWT agreement will have a direct effect on the economy of Pakistan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a great statesman; any decision taken by his Government, to abort the treaty unilaterally or even temporarily, should be arrived with caution.
The best course should be to use all possible diplomatic channels to convince the world about Pakistan’s terror activities. Aborting the IWT treaty should be the last option.
