Claim
Pakistan convened an international conference on the Indus Water Treaty in Islamabad and appealed to attendees from various countries to persuade India not to stop the Indus waters.
“इस्लामाबाद में पाकिस्तान ने इंडस वाटर ट्रीटी पर एक अंतरराष्ट्रीय सम्मेलन भी बुला लिया। दुनिया के तमाम देशों से आए लोगों से अपील की गई कि वह भारत को मना दें कि सिंधु का पानी वो ना रोके।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent sources (Arab News, India TV, OpIndia, Washington Post) confirm Pakistan convened an international conference on the Indus Waters Treaty in Islamabad around 30 June–1 July 2026, gathering officials and international water/legal experts to press its case and rally the international community against India's suspension of the treaty. The essence of the claim—that Pakistan held such a conference and appealed to the world to prevail upon India not to stop the Indus waters—is corroborated. The only minor overstatement is that attendance was dominated by Pakistani officials with a limited number of international specialists, but the appeal to the international community is accurately conveyed.
