India could block even Pakistan’s share of Indus waters:Nitin Gadkari

[Aryan0395]

And what makes you think our water-rights only end where you will think? You play bad - you get played bad. Blocking Pakistan's water is a declaration of war and what do you think will Pakistan do next?

Again refer to my original reply to u where i asked "Do u really think ur coast guard can stop India from utilising Arabian Sea?"

India will need to build a lot of dams to divert or throttle back water from Pakistan.

If India were to succeed in building the dam infrastructure for this, Pakistan as the downstream riparian country, would have a massive case on its side against India for breaking a major treaty. Additionally, a similar situation could be created for India by China but the chances of India diverting Pakistan's share of the water are the same as China doing the same to India.

The reality is that for a "passing" geo-political phase, most countries, including India, would not resort to such expensive and permanent changes.

Also as water scarcity becomes a bigger problem globally, more and more countries are adding water diversion as a red line for their national security.

India can divert it's share, no problem. But diverting Pakistani share is an act of war. Pakistan will be fully justified in retaliating

Why not? And not just coat-guard. When it will come to resolution, India will have to give our right to get its right.

Just wondering what makes you think it would be cost-guard war against India. But I am amazed you could think this way.

stoping water is an all our war and i doubt that baniya have such guts .

Need not be dams aline. River interlinking projects would do.
Of course they take few decades if not more
Many international treaties got broken at some time. Sky won't fall if IWT is not obliged by India.
Luckily for us china can't divert all 30% of waters coming into India. What's next

When water become scarce whivh already is a problem in southern part of India, river interlinking is a book for us (a very costly project)

i have been posting on pakdefence for 10 yrs and recently here on def.pk . many guys here know me and the general cool temperament i keep when posting

however,

the water issue is something that boils me over . WHY ?

IT IS AN OPEN and naked daylight robbery on our water of chenab that feeds lahore and jhelum that feeds mangla basin. india's ROR projects ( although not able to divert water ) HAVE exceeded IWT design specs and reduced flow downstream to pakistan . this is a fact and im open to any challenge that can prove me other wise .
mangla dam this year was filled much later than usual as a result

if this is not an act of war , i dont know what it is.

ultimately, pakistan will have no option but to either ignite Kashmir cause completely or train dam busters strikes


some members ask me what if india strikes mangla or tarbela

the answer is = yes, its a likely scenario and a consequential loss. however, busting dams takes a lot of preparation and planning . we can surprise them by planning and surprise, they cant ( unless IAF has trained a dam buster team too)

you have been building your andaman and nicobar islands so your navy can keep a check on China from there which passes through strait of Malacca for its majority of trade so what makes you think that you can impose your full navy force on Pakistan side and leave other places empty so China can surprise you..so conclusion is that you can't impose your all navy on our side and so we can handle the little bit of your navy if it comes on our side..

Again refer to my original reply to u where i asked "Do u really think ur coast guard can stop India from utilising Arabian Sea?"

we can cut your oil supply and hence your economy is in our hands so better stay in your limits..

 

[ThinkLogically]

India can divert it's share, no problem. But diverting Pakistani share is an act of war. Pakistan will be fully justified in retaliating

Ok, what would you do other than sending few brainshwashed people to heaven and causing few casualties on our side like Pulwama.

 

[My-Analogous]

Indian rhetoric start from war , then came to strike and it end up on Tomatoes .................. fvcckked up .

But our chilly they are still eating.

- India was going to ban Pakistan from WC - epic fail
- India was going to put Pakistan on FATF blacklist - epic fail
- India was going to isolate Pakistan from the whole world - epic fail
- India was going to economically isolate Pakistan - epic fail
- India was going to teach Pakistan a lesson and carry out a cross border strike - still waiting
- India was going to beg the world to name and implicate Pakistan directly at the UN - epic fail
- Now India thinks it can stop Pakistan’s share of water - has India the balls to do it?

Pakistan India Water Wars
Union minister Nitin Gadkari in a tweet confirmed that India would stop it’s share of the water supply to Pakistan in light of the Pulwama attack. This was misinterpreted by media as a threat to ‘choke’ the water supply to Pakistan. Below we analyze the ramifications of the same.

If the diversion of the waters of the Sutlej, Ravi and Beas Rivers designated under the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty for India’s use that Gadkari has promised is indeed state policy then there should really have been much greater debate and cogitation within government circles about its regional and international ramifications than has evidently occurred to-date.

Under international law, for a lower riparine country to be denied its legitimate portion of shared river waters can be casus belli — cause for war. Fine, the onus will be on Pakistan to start one, and it is in no position to do so. The trouble is a war for such an elemental reason could quickly spiral into a war of annihilation unlike all the previous wars of maneuver that India and Pakistan have engaged in since 1947.

Damming and diverting the Indus River tributary waters is a matter of life and death for Pakistan – that can, quite literally, turn much of Pakistani Punjab and upper Sindh, in no more than 30 years, into an arid extension of the Thar Desert. The first thing to weigh is whether junking the Indus Waters Treaty is anywhere a proportionate response to the Pulwama provocation. Proportionality — whether anybody likes it or not — is an established central tenet of international law of war.

Secondly, it will immediately gift China the justification for damming and diversion of all rivers originating in the Tibetan Plateau — the Tsang-po (Brahmapurtra River) as also the Indus. Beijing has been more hesitant in building upstream facilities to siphon off water from the Indus because its all-weather friend, Pakistan, is at the lower end of this River.

Assuming Pakistan cannot and will not initiate an all-out war to settle the water issue for once and for all, how long does the Indian government reckon it will be before Beijing, citing the Indian precedent on the Sutlej, Ravi and Beas, orders huge construction projects to redirect the precious Indus waters in Tibet itself and away from its natural pattern of flow south of the Tibetan watershed and into the subcontinent?

What then? What case will Delhi make to mobilize international opinion against the Chinese action? As it is, Delhi has not done anything about the Chinese civil works and dams at the great bend obstructing the Brahmaputra. India will find itself squarely in Pakistan’s position of being unable to prevent diversion.

U should pray that ur military commanders aren't living in this delusion....just look at the state of ur navy, its basically an oversized coast guard...

we would build toilets instead of insisting we are a supa dupa pawa
