Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday, June 1, firmly dismissed a growing narrative from Pakistan suggesting that China could weaponise the Brahmaputra River by halting its flow into India.
Labelling it a “baseless attempt” to stir public fear, Sarma provided a detailed, data-backed rebuttal, asserting that India’s control and contribution to the river’s strength far outweigh any upstream influence.
Addressing the concerns in a pointed post on X (formerly Twitter), Sarma said, “Let’s dismantle this myth, not with fear, but with facts and national clarity.” He clarified that around 65-70 per cent of the Brahmaputra’s flow is generated within India, thanks to the monsoon-fed tributaries and rainfall in the Northeast, while China contributes just 30-35 per cent, mainly through glacial melt and modest rainfall over the Tibetan plateau.
