Official Spin: ‘Pakistan has not lost water case’

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has not lost its water case in the International Court of Arbitration as the short order of the court ensures a minimum flow under the Indus Water Treaty, the Upper House was told on Tuesday.

“The judgment is not against Pakistan, rather it is in our favour,” State Minister for Water and Power Tasneem Ahmad Qureshi said, allaying reservations expressed by Senator Muhammad Mohsin Khan Leghari and the Leader of Opposition in the Senate Ishaq Dar.
