Islamabad: Pakistan today said it expected a breakthrough on the dispute over the Chenab waters with India "within two days" and asserted it wanted complete implementation of water accords with the neighbouring country.
Pakistan's Indus Waters Commissioner Jamaat Ali Shah had inspected the Baglihar dam on October 18 and held detailed talks with Indian authorities.
A breakthrough is expected "within two days" in talks with India over the reported diversion of waters of the Chenab river to the Baghlihar dam, Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Sadiq said.
Pakistan wants implementation of water accords restraining India from using the Chenab's water to fill the dam, he said.
Pakistan had earlier threatened to take India to the court of arbitration or to neutral experts if New Delhi continued to "violate" the Indus treaty by not releasing its share of water from the Chenab river.
"The agreements should be implemented in letter and spirit as use of Chenab water by India is affecting Pakistan's crops and damaging the economy," Sadiq said.
On Kashmir, he said Pakistan had continued to raise at every forum the issues of "rights violations" and "use of force" in Jammu and Kashmir and Islamabad will continue to provide diplomatic and political support to Kashmiris.
