Misleading Indus Water Treaty, Timely intervention of Civil servant Masud Khadar Posh and his visionary warning about future water shortage. Today we are facing it, thanks to Dictator Ayub Khan 
That treaty was signed when there was no elected government and no assembly that could discuss the treaty. It was signed in September 19, 1960 when a dictator General Ayub Khan was so-called President. That treaty served Indian interests and that is why Pandat Nehru loved to visit Karachi for signing agreement.
