Claim
Pakistan held an anti-India Indus Waters conference on 29–30 June.
“So they held an anti-India conference, the Indus Waters conference on the 29th, 30th June.”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent sources (Arab News, Washington Post, Radio Pakistan, Pakistan Today, OpIndia) confirm Pakistan held an international Indus Waters Treaty conference in Islamabad titled 'Indus Waters Treaty: An Instrument of Peace and Regional Stability,' where senior officials including Deputy PM Ishaq Dar condemned India's suspension of the treaty and warned against 'water weaponization.' Coverage clusters on June 30 (with related activity/reporting on June 29), matching the claimed 29–30 June window. India's own outlets treated it as a hostile 'unilateral' event, making the 'anti-India' description defensible. The only minor imprecision is that the main event is most consistently reported as a single-day seminar on June 30 rather than clearly a two-day event, but this does not undermine the substance of the claim.
