Lahore, Nov 24 : Indus Water Commissioner (Pakistan) chief Jamaat Ali Shah has said that India would make Pakistan barren by 2014 by stopping its water and filling its Baglihar Dam at an increased pace.
Addressing a seminar at the Lahore Press Club, Shah said that India had constructed dams at various rivers and continued doing so.
Speakers from different farmers’ organisations said that India had violated the Indus Water Treaty by constructing Baglihar Dam. They said that if the Pakistani government remained silent, India would destroy Pakistan’s economy and ‘capture the country without a battle’.
