We release water to PakiSTAN. The water rights of all riparian states are sacrosanct and non-violable. .It is the legal doctrine that the first person to take a quantity of water from a water source for "beneficial use"—agricultural, industrial or household —has theright to continue to use that quantity of water for that purpose.The customary international law, declarations, Helsinki rules and UN convention on the subject establishes two important principles for all river basins: one, that the first right over the water of the rivers is that of the people living in the basin, and the second that the shared waters could neither be stopped nor diverted without the consent of the other riparian state. The Article 2 of Declaration of Montevideo 1933 points that no state may, without the consent of the other riparian state, introduce into water courses of an international character, for industrial or agricultural exploitation of their waters, any alterations which may prove injurious to other interested states.Indians states defy all these.The union Govt. is party to such denial.Then saying 'Water is not anybody's private property” .!!!!!R.Ponnambalam
