On June 1, 2025, India dismissed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's comments on the Indus Waters Treaty at a UN conference in Tajikistan, labeling them as unwarranted. Union Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh emphasized that Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism undermines the treaty's implementation. India had suspended the 1960 treaty following the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians. The suspension is part of broader measures, including diplomatic downgrades and travel bans, aimed at pressuring Pakistan to cease support for terrorism. India asserts that the treaty will remain in abeyance until Pakistan takes concrete action against such activities. (PC: India Today)
