Pakistan urges India to reconsider suspension of Indus Waters Treaty
Pakistan has firmly appealed to New Delhi to resume the flow of rivers into its territory under the Indus Waters Treaty.
In a letter addressed to India's Minister of External Affairs, the Pakistani Ministry warned that suspending the treaty could trigger a crisis within the country.
The Indus Waters Treaty is an important water-sharing accord that has endured for more than six decades.
According to the 1960 treaty, India recieved around 30% of the total water carried by the Indus River Systems located in India, while Pakistan got the remaining 70%.
The plea comes after India halted the 1960 agreement in the wake of terrorist attack, in Pahalgam on April 22.
India, invoking its national security prerogative, has placed the treaty in abeyance until Islamabad credibly and irrevocably ends its support for terrorism.
PM Modi in his first address since Operation Sindoor, declared that water and blood cannoy flow together.
With the Indus Waters Treaty suspended, the Narendra Modi government is expected to take major steps towards completing the stalled hydroelectric projects.
