Marvi Memon writes letter to Chief Justice over water security

Marvi Memon has written a letter to the Chief Justice regarding water security here on Friday. Following is the text: Honourable Chief Justice Sahib, Water Security is critical and any efforts, which show negligence and incompetence on behalf of the government, need to be taken suo motu notice for the sake of 180 million Pakistanis right to water.
Recently, Pakistan's panel of lawyers / experts led by Kamal Majidullah, has failed to convince the seven-member bench of International Court of Arbitration to grant Pakistan a "stay order" against the construction of Kishanganga dam. The International Court of Arbitration (COA) constituted a bench in the Hague on January 2011, when Pakistan had objected to India's move to build the 330MW Kishanganga hydroelectric project KHEP through diversion of Neelum River in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty.
This utter failure that may lead to Pakistan loosing the legal battle on this vital case is due to the incompetence and ignorance of Pakistan's entire legal team, which did not apply for a stay order against the construction at the Kishanganga project site in January.
It is a general opinion of many experts including Arshad Abbasi who may be called upon by the court to speak on the subject, that the legal team is not technically, legally competent or trained to represent Pakistan. Nepotism has been seen in the choice of the team leader whose main qualification is good relations with the highest offices of the government. Furthermore Pakistan's Indus Water Commissioner was replaced by Majidullah's close friends who are not familiar with complexities of trans-boundary water and environmental conflicts in the trip to represent Pakistan in Hague. The International Country of Arbitration took notice of serious environmental impact of Kishanganga Project on Neelum valley and ongoing under construction of Neelum Jhelum Project. While referring to abstracts of a report quoted in international media prepared by Pakistan's independent think-tank SDPI on environmental impacts of KHEP, the court instructed the legal representatives of Government of India to submit comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment Report of KHEP during next hearing.
Whilst I as a former Member of Parliament and current politician of Pakistan wish to see good relations with India it cannot be at the loss of Pakistan's national interest including water and subsequently food security. The entire composite dialogue process has suffered tremendously ever since this government took charge. Appeasement and subsequently light handling of key issues within the process have led to Pakistan failing its relations regionally. I would urge you to take suo motu notice of the criminal negligence shown by each member of the legal team, which might just enable India to complete the controversial Kishanganga Hydropower Project to the detriment of Pakistan water security.-PR
