LAHORE - Justice (r) Dr Javed Iqbal has said that water experts have a unanimous point of view that future wars would be fought for the sake of water and South Asia's atomic powers, Pakistan and India, would be forced to go to war for this purpose. He was addressing the special meeting on the subject 'Indian violation of Sindh - Tass pact and how to tackle it' held under the auspices of the Nazaria Pakistan Trust at the Aiwan-e-Karkunan Tehrik-e-Pakistan on Saturday. The event was organised in cooperation with the Tehrik-e-Pakistan Workers Trust. A large number of people from all walks of life including experts on irrigation and dams along with Chairman Nazaria Pakistan Trust Majid Nizami participated in the meeting. Dr Javed Iqbal stressed that it was necessary to come out from the Commonwealth shield and approach the International Court if we wanted to solve this horrible problem. "It is essential to disclose before International Court that this agreement was finalised with malice towards Pakistan and is filled with immense blunders. According to this agreement if it would be acted upon according to its clauses, it would convert Pakistan into desert in the very near future," he said.  He lamented that government of Ayub Khan deliberately kept this agreement secret from the people. "Even literate people do not know about its clauses. More conferences and seminars like this should be held to educate the common people," he was of the view. "India is constructing dams on Kashmir rivers flowing into Pakistani territories and planning to convert Pakistan into a desert. Indians have recently built the Baglihar Dam. This horrible problem should be discussed in the Parliament," Dr Javed Iqbal said. He suggested that Pakistan being an atomic power should pose a threat to India to stop work on these illegal and unlawful dams otherwise Pakistan would be bound to wage an atomic war.  He said Kalabagh Dam had hotly been opposed by NWFP, whereas Punjab had agreed to give its water share to other three provinces on gesture of nobility. He said President Asif Ali Zardari should also take members of parliament into confidence about this problem. Chairman Sindh-Tass Water Conference Hafiz Zahoor Daher said that he had started a study movement for the protection of water reservoirs. "In 1985, UN Secretary General warned Pakistan and India to solve their water conflict within a specific time as world has to face the shortage of water in the coming future," he said. He claimed that on March 01, 2001, American CIA, British MI, Israel 'Mosad' and Indian 'Raw' signed on a memorandum of understanding that no big dam would be allowed to be built in Pakistan and hence Pakistan would be bound to bow down before Indian supremacy. "Keeping in view the aforesaid scenario, we can judge the level India has achieved to his goal in this regard as it is using over 90 per cent Pakistan water share of the River Chenab. The Head Merala has been dry due to non-flow of water. Earlier, over 127 times, Pakistan negotiated with Indian authorities over the violation of the Sindh-Tass agreement but so far they are not paying heed to our protest," he said. Majid Nizami said unless we dare to twist-arm India courageously, Kashmir solution would not come out and unless we wage an atomic war we cannot get Kashmir from India. "Kashmir being jugular vein of Pakistan, we are bound to liberate it from the cruel clutches of Indian atrocities and if we could not do it, next generation of Pakistan would die because of thirst as India is hatching conspiracies to grab our water reservoirs and to make Pakistan a land like Ethiopia and Somalia," he said. "We have to struggle today to save our next generation if we want to save them from thirst. British imperialists left Kashmir as a time bomb. If we want to see our country progressing, we have to get rid of this time bomb by getting it back with force," Nizami maintained. NPT secretary Shahid Rasheed said Pakistan is facing multifaceted challenges and violation of the Sindh-Tass agreement is an important issue. He claimed that the NPT had already highlighted this problem to raise awareness and consensus among people. Leader of Jama'at-i-Islami Dr Fareed Peracha said that keeping in view the clauses of the Sindh-Tass pact, it seemed that while negotiating, Indians were participating from both sides in bilateral meeting. "It is arbitrary behaviour of India who have already built over 50 dams on Pakistani water share and is stealing over 35 per cent water from Indus River," he said. Former minister Syed Ahmad Saeed Kirmani said Pakistan was importing wheat despite being an agricultural country and it was all due to shortage of water. "Future war with India would be fought on water issue," he was of the view. Begum Menaz Rafi said 160 million people of Pakistan alone have the right on Pakistani rivers and India cannot grab this right. She suggested that Pakistan should approach International Court of Justice in this regard and form a national fund to solve this problem. Eminent Irrigation expert Rameez Ahmad Malik said Indians had been working on Baglihar Dam stealthily since last decade and now they not only had completed this dam but were also storing water in it. He said according to water agreement over 55,000 cusic water should flow at Head Mirala but India is violating this clause also. Chief co-ordinator NPT Mian Aziz-ul-Haq Qureshi said American President built a dam that was strongly opposed by people. Likewise China also constructed three big dams in which people have had divergent opinions. He disclosed that when a concerned officer approached a Sindhi landlord and asked why he had opposed Kalabagh Dam, he replied that he was being rewarded with monetary benefits and if government wanted to get his favour in this regard, government should also give him big monetary offer. He observed that had expenses made on previous Prime Minister's visit to abroad were given to the landlords, Kalabagh Dam would have been built since long time ago. Vice-Chairman NPT Prof Dr Rafique Ahmad said water conflict was the mother of many crises and problems including agriculture and industrial problems. He said India always deceived Pakistan on all fronts and we, being gullible, always had been trapped and ultimately received colossal losses. He suggested that Pakistan should tackle this problem with courage like Iranians. He recommended that we should not keep atomic power aside rather we should use this power as a leverage during negotiations with India. Eminent expert Bashir A Malik also spoke on the occasion.
