Pakistan's problems on the front of international politics and diplomacy are increasing day by day, and now the Pakistani rulers themselves are deeply afraid of the deep abyss their policies are pushing the country into. In the latest development, a senior minister of Pakistan has given a big statement regarding the Indus Water Treaty and regional geopolitics, from which the turmoil created within Islamabad can be clearly understood. The Pakistani Minister has openly admitted that today's global and regional reality is that India has become the most important, powerful and indispensable country in South Asia. The tone of Pakistan's policy makers, who had been spewing venom against India for decades and creating confrontation on every platform, has now started changing, because they have realized that it is impossible to maintain regional stability or Pakistan's economic existence by ignoring India. Let us know in detail in this report how there is an atmosphere of fear within Pakistan regarding the future of the Indus Water Treaty and why the minister there has to accept this truth. Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan's growing strategic concerns: There is deep concern and unrest in Islamabad these days regarding the decades-old 'Indus Waters Treaty' between India and Pakistan. Pakistan's agricultural economy and water security completely depend on this treaty, because large parts of its Punjab and Sindh provinces are irrigated by the waters of these rivers. But for some time now, India's demand to review this treaty and make changes in it according to the needs of modern times has given sleepless nights to the Pakistani rulers. Pakistani ministers and strategists fear that if India takes a tough stance on the flow of Indus River water or its management, Pakistan's agricultural infrastructure will completely collapse. This imminent threat of water shortage has frightened Pakistan's rulers from within, and they have now begun to understand that they are completely dependent on India's strategic position in terms of water security. Pakistani minister's big statement: India is the pivot of South Asia This new statement coming from within Pakistan has created a stir in the political circles, in which a senior minister has admitted that the geopolitical and economic axis of South Asia now revolves completely around India. The Minister acknowledged that India is not only the world's fastest growing economic power, but is also the main center of stability and development in the entire region. This admission coming from the mouth of the minister of the same country which had been making diplomatic moves to surround and isolate India regionally for a long time is a big proof that Pakistan is going through a phase of its plight and diplomatic failure. Experts believe that Pakistan now has no option left but to accept that India's influence in South Asia cannot be denied and the future of the region will be determined by New Delhi's stance. Islamabad is surrounded by economic crisis and diplomatic crisis. At present, the serious economic crisis, shortage of foreign exchange reserves and inflation that Pakistan is going through has exposed its foreign policy. Pakistan, which is breathing with the help of International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan and help from other countries, is now realizing that its old aggressive and hostile policies are of no use to its citizens. On one hand, the country is facing shortage of basic needs, and on the other hand, diplomatically, Pakistan is becoming isolated in the world. Diplomatic analysts also say that such statements being made by Pakistan's ministers are only the result of compulsion, so that they can show to Western countries and global forums that they are in favor of regional peace, whereas in reality their internal systems are completely broken. India's strong position and impact on regional diplomacy On the other hand, India has always played its role as a responsible global power on the diplomatic and economic front, which never compromises with its security and national interests. India's growing economic strength, space missions, and strong defense apparatus have proved to the world that New Delhi will not yield to any pressure. It is clearly evident from these statements of the ministers of Pakistan that it is the effect of India's strict and clear foreign policy that now the rulers of the neighboring country are having to face the reality. Even on sensitive issues like Indus Water Treaty, India is taking steps within its legal and national rights, due to which the psychological and diplomatic pressure on Pakistan is continuously increasing. There is every possibility that India's dominance in the politics of South Asia will become stronger in the coming times.
