New Delhi:
Pakistan has allegedly written a letter to India, urging to reconsider the decision to put the Indus Waters Treaty in Abhay. Pakistan’s Water Resources Ministry has allegedly written a letter to New Delhi to resume the flow of rivers in its area under the Indus Water Treaty.
The Indus Waters Treaty is a decisive water-sharing agreement that has been tolerating for more than six decades. India stopped the 1960 agreement in view of another 1960 Pakistan -backed terrorist attack, this time in Pahgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, in which 26 civilians died, most of whom were tourists.
India, calling for its national security privilege, has kept the treaty until Islamabad “reliable and irreversible” ends its support for terrorism.
The move was supported by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), which is the top decision-making body on strategic affairs, the first time New Delhi has prohibited the World Bank-Bropock Agreement.
In a letter sent to the Ministry of External Affairs, the Pakistani Ministry warned that suspending the treaty would create a crisis within the country.
At his first address after Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined the government’s unrelated situation.
“Water and blood cannot flow together,” they announced. “Terror and talks cannot take place at the same time. Terror and trade cannot take place simultaneously.”
However, Indian authorities have dismissed these concerns, which indicates prolonged use of terrorism as Pakistan’s state policy.
The treaty allocates three western rivers, Indus, Jhelum and Chenabs in Pakistan, while Eastern Rivers – Sutlage, Beas and Ravi, remain with India.
India has now announced a three-level strategy, mid-term and long-term to prevent any flow of Indus water in Pakistan.
Union Water Power Minister CR Patil said that steps are being taken to ensure that not a single drop of water is allowed to leave the Indian region uncontrolled.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaywal, while strengthening the government’s attitude, said, “Indus Waters Treaty was established on goodwill and friendship. Pakistan has trampled these values by supporting cross -border terrorism for decades.”
Strong response operation follows the vermilion, which is a Swift military campaign, which began after the Pahalgam attack, resulting in a brief ceasefire agreement. But New Delhi has made it clear: the dialogue with Islamabad will now be limited to an agenda-ending attentiveism and ensuring the return of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
According to the 1960 Treaty, India received about 30 percent of the total water made by the Indus river system in India, while Pakistan received the remaining 70 percent.
Along with suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, the Narendra Modi government is expected to take big steps towards completing hydroelectric projects.
This week, there is a possibility of having an important meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah with Water Resources Minister Patil, Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and senior officials of all the concerned ministries. Since the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, there have been two meetings between Amit Shah, Patil and top officials of the ministry.
