Pakistan Stares at Water Scarcity After India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty
Pakistan is facing a severe water scarcity crisis following India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. This development has sparked humorous exchanges on social media, with a viral video of bottled water being sent to Pakistani influencer Hania Aamir.
Quick Take
The latest in this series is a viral video from India that shows a parcel of bottled water being readied to be sent to Hania Aamir, an actor and YouTuber from Pakistan who has a considerable fan following in India. She has over a million subscribers on YouTube and over 18 million followers on Instagram.
The video appears to be shot at a local courier service in India. "To Hania Aamir, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan, from India," read a note on the parcel seen in the video. Inside the box are over a dozen bottles of drinking water.
The man who shot the video is heard saying, "This boy brought a parcel today, and check who it is for. It’s for Hania Aamir. And see what’s inside – water bottles."
The Indus treaty, signed in 1960 and having lived through three wars (1965, 1971, and 1999), was suspended by India after terror links to Pakistan emerged in the massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, citing "sustained cross-border terrorism."
The move sparked a meme fest on social media. Here are some of the popular memes:
- "Tharak kam nahi honi chahiye" – A tweet from Ashish (@error040290) on April 29, 2025.
- "Scene after Indus Water Treaty got suspended" – A tweet from narsa. (@rathor7_) on April 23, 2025.
- "INDUS WATER TREATY" – A tweet from chacha (@meme_kalakar) on April 23, 2025.
- "Pakistani after India suspended Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan.." – A tweet from Meme King (@MemeKing_X) on April 24, 2025.
- "My DMs are flooded with hilarious water memes from Indian friends" – A tweet from Hania Aamir (@HaniaAamir__) on April 28, 2025.
Pakistan had called any move to stop the flow of water an "act of war."
