PM: Indus, Chenab, Jhelum as per the Treaty, Blood and water cannot flow together

| EDIT
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held a meeting in New Delhi to take stock of 56-year old Indus Water Treaty in the wake of sustained cross border attacks including Uri terror strike. According to sources, Prime Minister said in the meeting that blood and water cannot flow together.
They said, it was decided to set up an inter ministerial task force to exploit the full potential of western rivers – Indus, Chenab, Jhelum as per the Treaty. These rivers were allocated to Pakistan under the treaty. Under this arrangement, India can use 20 per cent of the water of these rivers for irrigation, transport and power generation which is currently not being done.
It was also decided to expedite construction on Pakal Dul , Sawalkot and Bursar Dams on Chenab river. The country will review construction on Tulbul navigation project on which work was suspended. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Nripendra Mishra, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar, Water Resources Secretary Shashi Sekhar and other senior officials attended the meeting.
The Indus river treaty was signed in 1960 by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and then Pakistan President Ayub Khan. The treaty, brokered by the World Bank, is often considered to be one-sided and there has been growing clamour to relook at it.
