Innocent people who are not terrorists might die if India keeps the
water supply off limits to Pakistan.
India is a great and forgiving nation and should not hurt innocent civilians. India should devise a plan to attack only the bad people. Pakistan needs to take India seriously because lives might be lost to hunger if the water supply is cut off indefinitely.
Pakistan shouldn't taunt India, which is becoming a superpower.

India will never restore Indus water treaty with Pakistan, Shah says
India will never restore the Indus Waters Treaty with Islamabad, and the water flowing to Pakistan will be diverted for internal use, Home Minister Amit Shah said in an interview on Saturday. India put into 'abeyance' its participation in the 1960 treaty, which governs the usage of the Indus river system, after 26 civilians in Indian Kashmir were killed in what Delhi described as an act of terror. The treaty had guaranteed water access for 80 per cent of Pakistan's farms through three rivers originating in India. Pakistan has denied involvement in the incident, but the accord remains dormant despite a ceasefire agreed upon by the two nuclear-armed neighbours last month following their worst fighting in decades. 'No, it will never be restored,' Shah said. 'We will take water that was flowing to Pakistan to Rajasthan by constructing a canal. Pakistan will be starved of water that it has been getting unjustifiably,' Shah said, referring to the northwestern Indian state.

Hong Kong's religious harmony is best maintained through trust

Submissions should not exceed 400 words, and must include your full name and address, plus a phone number for verification I am writing in response to the letter , 'Hong Kong welcomes Muslims, but let's safeguard against extremism' (April 30). Hong Kong's efforts to foster inclusivity for Muslims while safeguarding social harmony are commendable and reflect the city's commitment to diversity. However, the suggestion that extremism is a significant concern with regard to Hong Kong's Muslim community lacks empirical support and risks perpetuating unnecessary stereotypes. Hong Kong's Muslim population, estimated at around 300,000, including both permanent residents and migrant workers, has historically been peaceful and law-abiding. The government's security reports do not identify the local Muslim community as a source of extremism. While vigilance against radicalisation is prudent worldwide, framing inclusivity efforts with undue caution may inadvertently stigmatise a minority that contributes positively to Hong Kong's economy and culture.

China says it will speed up Pakistan dam construction after Indian threat to cut supplies
China has said it was accelerating work on a 'flagship' dam in Pakistan in the wake of India's recent threats to cut off water supplies. Advertisement The state-owned China Energy Engineering Corporation has been working on the Mohmand Hydropower Project in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwestern Pakistan since 2019. The project was scheduled to be completed next year. On Saturday state broadcaster CCTV reported that concrete filling on the dam had started, marking 'a critical construction milestone and a phase of accelerated development for this national flagship project of Pakistan'. The project officially began in September 2019, and was scheduled to be completed next year. The Chinese statement followed India's announcement that it would suspend the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty with its neighbour, in response to a deadly militant attack on tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22 Advertisement The suspension of the treaty has left Pakistan facing water security risks, as the country reportedly relies on the Indus river system for about 80 per cent of its agriculture.
