LAHORE: The distribution of water is a sensitive issue and it may trigger a war between India and Pakistan, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Education Sardar Aseff Ali said on Saturday.

He made these comments to the media after a seminar, ‘Improvement in the Power Sector’, held under the auspices of the Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers of Pakistan.

ICJ: He said Pakistan might seek international arbitration on the water issue by taking it up with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or the United Nations Security Council if India tried to construct any more dams that affect Pakistan’s share of water. Pakistan would also back out of the Indus Water Treaty and India would be responsible for the consequences, Assef added.
