The Indus Water Treaty signed in 1960 controls the water sharing between India and Pakistan through the Indus river system. However, India “postponed” the treaty on 22 April after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 civilians.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has categorically refused to restore the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and said that India will instead it will turn the river water for its internal use. In an interview to the Times of India, when Shah was asked about the situation of the six decades of old agreement, he said that it will never be restored. The senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party said, “We will take the canal and take the water going towards Pakistan to Rajasthan. Pakistan will not get the water that it is getting unfairly.
The Indus Water Treaty signed in 1960 controls the water sharing between India and Pakistan through the Indus river system. However, India “postponed” the treaty on 22 April after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 civilians. The government linked the suspension of the treaty with the continuous support of Islamabad to cross -border terrorism. Pakistan has denied joining the Pahalgam attack. The treaty is suspended, despite the ceasefire agreement between the two nuclear -rich neighbors after the worst clashes on the border in decades.
Since April, Islamabad has repeatedly urged India to reconsider its decision. According to officials familiar with the case, Pakistan’s Water Resources Secretary Syed Ali Murtaza has written at least four letters to the Ministry of Water Power of India – three of them are written after the conclusion of the military operation Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam murder case – which has been asked to review the suspension.
