BJP National President JP Nadda has criticized Jawaharlal Nehru for compromising India’s water security through the Indus Water Treaty of 1960, claiming it favored Pakistan by ceding 80% of the Indus basin waters. He argues the treaty was hastily signed without proper parliamentary consultation and describes it as a national betrayal driven by idealism. Nadda points to historical opposition within Congress to highlight dissent against the treaty, while Prime Minister Modi has called for its reassessment, citing detrimental clauses. This renewed debate underscores the complexities of India’s water diplomacy and the importance of reassessing historical decisions in light of contemporary needs.
