‘What if China stops Brahmaputra water?’: Himanta Biswa Sarma shuts down ‘Pakistan’s new scare narrative’

Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma refuted Pakistan’s claims about China potentially weaponizing the Brahmaputra River. Sarma clarified that the Brahmaputra is primarily fed by Indian monsoon rains, with China contributing only a smaller portion of its flow. He dismissed the concerns as fear-mongering, highlighting India’s dominant role in sustaining the river’s volume and asserting its water sovereignty.
