India Pakistan News: After the Pahalgam terror attack, India suspended the Indus Water Agreement with Pakistan, after which the neighboring country became fascinated for water. Now he is pleading on all the forums of the world to give us the water of the Indus, but India once again replied to Pakistan and said that it will not talk on the Indus Water Treaty until it would solve India’s concerns about terrorism.
Pakistan wrote a letter to the Government of India
According to sources, Pakistan’s Water Resources Secretary Syed Ali Murtaza has requested India to rethink the decision to postpone the Indus Water Treaty several times. In many letters written to Indian counterpart Debashree Mukherjee, Syed Ali Murtaza has repeatedly expressed a desire to discuss the specific objections raised by his government by his government. India has not responded to any letters of Pakistan.
India bluntly reply to Pakistan
India says that until the concerns of New Delhi regarding terrorism are resolved and the treaty is not fully given a new look, it will not interact with the neighboring country in any way. India postponed the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April. 26 people were killed in this attack. Mukherjee officially informed Pakistan about this decision.
Pakistan’s condition deteriorated due to Sindhu water treaty suspended
The Indus Water Treaty was signed by the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the then President of Pakistan Ayub Khan. In this, the World Bank played the role of an intermediary. Its purpose was to end the dispute by fixing the conditions of water sharing of rivers between the two countries.
The Indus river system consists of a total of six rivers, including three Eastern rivers Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and three western rivers Indus, Jhelum, Chenab. Under this agreement, India has got the right to control and use of Eastern rivers, while Pakistan has got control of Western rivers.
About 80 percent of Pakistan’s agricultural irrigation is dependent on the Indus water system. With the ban of India on the Indus Water Agreement, water will not reach water in the Indus River in Pakistan, which will create water crisis and it will directly affect the cultivation there.
