India's Envoy Highlights Pakistan's Role in Undermining Indus Water Treaty
India's envoy to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, stated that the Indus Water Treaty, signed in 1960 in a spirit of goodwill, has been undermined by Pakistan's decades of hostility and cross-border terrorism. Kwatra noted that India's decision to place the treaty in abeyance in April 2022 reflects this reality. He cited multiple conflicts and terror attacks linked to Pakistan, emphasizing that cooperation requires dismantling terror infrastructure. The treaty's water-sharing asymmetry was honored by India despite challenges, while Pakistan's actions eroded trust.
