| ‘Pakistan gets due share of Indus water' |
| 2011-12-31 |
| “Pakistan is getting its due share of river water under the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960,” Pakistan's Water and Power Minister Syed Naveed Qamar said on Friday. In a written reply submitted in the National Assembly, he said the treaty allocated waters of the eastern rivers — Sutlej, Beas and Ravi — to India and those of the western rivers — Indus, Jhelum and Chenab — to Pakistan, except for certain specified uses. In the past, Islamabad had said its share was being diverted by dams in Jammu and Kashmir, though New Delhi has denied the charge. |

| #1 Its due share being more than four fifths of the waters of the Indus basin system. Indian PM Nehru was a real generous fellow and Robert McNamara (who negotiated the treaty) knew a sucker when he saw one. |
