Bilawal Bhutto Warns India of Conflict Over Indus Waters Treaty Suspension
Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has warned India that Pakistan is prepared to fight "on all fronts" following India's suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). India suspended the treaty last year after the Pahalgam terror attack, citing Pakistan's continued support for cross-border terrorism. India’s Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed the treaty remains in abeyance until Pakistan ceases such support. Pakistan rejects the suspension, with officials asserting the treaty's validity and emphasizing their water rights.
