Within three days of the terrorist attack on 22 April in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, India handed over concrete evidence to the US to include the Pakistan-backed terrorist organization The Resistance Front (TRF) in the list of official terrorist organizations of America.

According to the report of News18, the intelligence and technical data that India handed over to America met the high standards of US State Department. This process of America is important in this sense because it is largely free from the political complexities of forums like UNSC. Three days after the terrorist attack on 22 April, on 25 April, India gave complete information about the attack to major countries like America, Britain, China, Russia and France.

What did Foreign Secretary Vikram Egypt tell?

Foreign Secretary Vikram Egypt told the diplomats of these countries how the attack took place, how many people were killed and the initial investigation has revealed the name of TRF. This briefing was for representatives of G20 countries. India clearly said in these meetings that TRF is not a separate organization, but a new form of Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Taiba. India continuously explained this to America and other Western countries.

What did India talk to America?

1. TRF is a proxy organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba and works on its gestures.

2. Sheikh Sajjad Gul’s name has appeared as the mastermind of TRF in India’s NIA investigation.

3. TRF has already taken responsibility for many terrorist attacks.

4. Its activities are similar to other terrorist organizations of Pakistan.

The US took these things and evidence of India seriously. Declaring TRF as a terrorist organization on July 18, the US State Department admitted that the intelligence inputs and evidence given by India are completely reliable and TRF is part of Lashkar.

Ishaq Dar tried to save TRF

Meanwhile, there is also news that Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar tried to save TRF. The reports claimed that he removed TRF’s name from the statement of the United Nations Security Council, while TRF himself took responsibility for the Pahalgam attack.

India’s diplomatic victory after America’s decision

This decision has given India a diplomatic victory and has proved that TRF is a new face of banned terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba. Also, this step also strengthens cooperation against terrorism between India and America.

India-pakistan tension: India has taken another action against Pakistan after suspending the Indus Water Agreement. Now India has stopped the water of Chenab river through Bagalihar Dam. Similarly, the Jhelum is planning to take tough steps about the Kishanganga dam on the river. A source said that the Bagihar Hydroelectric Dam in Ramban, Jammu and the Kishanganga Hydroelectric Dam in North Kashmir have the ability to regulate the time of release of water.

India decided to suspend the decades-old treaty after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. 26 people were killed in this attack, mostly tourists. The Indus Water Treaty, which was conducted by the World Bank’s mediation, has controlled the use of the Indus River and its tributaries between India and Pakistan since 1960.

Controversy over Baggihar Dam

The Bagihar Dam has been a matter of long dispute between the two neighbors. Pakistan has demanded the World Bank’s mediation in this matter. Pakistan also has objections due to its influence on Neelam, a tributary of Jhelum, especially about the Kishanganga dam.

History of Indus Water Agreement

The Indus Water Agreement, signed by Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru and President of Pakistan Ayub Khan in 1960. It was a historical agreement made in the World Bank’s mediation. Its aim was to avoid the future conflict between India and Pakistan over water resources. Under this treaty, India got the right to Ravi, Sutlej, Beas. The control of Indus, Chenab, Jhelum was assigned to Pakistan. However, India got limited irrigation, power generation and domestic use exemption.

Pakistan’s lifeline Indus?

The mainstay of Pakistan’s water-based economy is the Indus river system. With its help, Pakistan uses 93% of Western rivers water. 80% agricultural land depends on this water. The livelihood of millions of people, water supply network of cities and hydro power production rests on this system. So when India indicated the postponement of the Indus Water Agreement, there was a panic and resentment in Pakistan’s political and military leadership.
