Kishanganga decision is a charge sheet against Pakistan

[chalukya]

ISLAMABAD: The 43-page judgment of the International Court of Arbitration (ICA) on the Kishanganga dispute between Pakistan and India shows clear signs of betrayal and disloyalty on the part of Islamabad as even the court was surprised to note that Pakistan did not even submit the critically-important data to secure its claim over its water.



What could be no less than a charge sheet against the concerned authorities if we look at the ICA decision which noted: “Pakistan has submitted no data on current or anticipated agriculture uses of water from the Kishanganga.”



It added: “Pakistan has not submitted even an estimate of the likely scope of such development, much less evidence upon which the Court could rely, the Court is unable to take account of such potential uses and has reached its determination of the minimum flow on the basis of hydro-electric and environmental factors alone.”



While the government ministers are telling the nation to believe that the ICA judgment was a great victory of Pakistan, the ICA decision proves that Pakistan’s inability to provide the required data to the Court led to the minimum flow of water guaranteed for Pakistan.



In para 93, the court judgment reads: “Pakistan’s agricultural uses: Pakistan has submitted no data on current or anticipated agricultural uses of water from the Kishenganga/Neelum. Pakistan has, however, stated that future development in the Neelum Valley will be contingent on the increased use of lift irrigation from the river and on a move away from subsistence agriculture. The Parties disagree as to whether such potential future uses are relevant to the determination of the minimum flow.”

I dont understand on what basis Pakistanis accuse India of Water dictating when they themselves are not serious about this issue. Or I shud say, all this water crying comes from Pak Army who have no responsibility of Data mining.

So shud we believe, irrespective of facts on ground, Pak Army simply rants for personal incentives just to keep Kashmir issue falsely sensationalised by hook or crook even if it wants fabrication of fatcs without figures.

Pakistani ruling class has been taking Pakistanis for a ride since 1947... they lie about everything.

Khud kuch karainge nahi..aur Hindustan kuch karne lage toh inko shor karna hota hai bas.
