India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty Citing Terrorism; Pakistan Rejects Allegations
Pakistan has rejected India's decision to place the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance, accusing India of treating shared rivers as a strategic asset and using terrorism allegations as a pretext. India maintains the treaty suspension is a response to Pakistan's continued support for cross-border terrorism and insists the treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan takes credible steps to end such support. China has been invoked by Pakistan as a regional stakeholder, while India emphasizes adherence to international legal obligations. The dispute follows the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack and reflects broader tensions over water sharing and security between the two countries.
