Re-reading the water treaty
Two senior officials from India and Pakistan, Dr. P.K. Saxena and Syed Mehar Ali Shah, debate the Indus Waters Treaty in a public exchange. Saxena accuses Pakistan of benefiting disproportionately from the treaty while India bears obligations, while Shah argues Pakistan's water allocation is a protected right and India's financial contribution was necessary for implementation.
