ISLAMABAD: Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar firmly stated before the National Assembly on Tuesday that the government remained resolute in not relinquishing its water rights, emphasizing that any alteration to the Indus Water Treaty necessitated mutual consent from both Pakistan and India.
