Pakistan has suspended the 1972 Simla Agreement, a pivotal peace treaty signed post the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war, in response to India's recent measures following the Pahalgam terror attack. The agreement, inked by Indian PM Indira Gandhi and Pakistani President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, emphasized peaceful resolution of disputes and respect for each other's sovereignty. Its suspension raises concerns over potential escalations along the Line of Control (LoC), as it undermines the commitment to bilateral negotiations and non-alteration of the status quo. This move signifies a significant deterioration in India-Pakistan relations, potentially impacting regional stability and diplomatic engagements. (PC: The Economic Times)
