Islamabad: Hundreds of people held an anti-India demonstration in Pakistan's Balochistan province on Friday to protest the neighbour "stealing" water of common rivers that flow from India's Jammu and Kashmir state, media reports said.

Tribal elders, politicians and residents attended the anti-India rally in the southwestern town of Chaman, in Balochistan province on the border with Afghanistan, Dawn reported Friday.

The protesters also burnt an Indian flag and an effigy of the Indian prime minister. Pakistan has alleged that India is building dams in its part of Kashmir.
