Syed Jamat Ali Shah

Syed Jamat Ali Shah is a former commissioner on Indus Waters who has been vocal about the violations of the Indus Water Treaty by India. He emphasizes that the treaty, finalized in 1960, grants Pakistan full rights over the waters of the western rivers—Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab—while allowing India to utilize the eastern rivers. Shah has called on the Pakistani government to present a detailed briefing to the United Nations Security Council regarding India's unilateral actions that he believes undermine the treaty.
