The lies started as soon as Pakistan was born

Whereas Pakistan has been a hindrance in the way of every agreement. Pakistan has never cooperated in the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan itself will be responsible for every audacity. Pakistan is spreading propaganda. Lies started as soon as Pakistan was born. Pakistan also lied to the United Nations. Later they had to face humiliation.
