India has strongly rejected a “supplemental award” by a Court of Arbitration on the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir. The Ministry of External Affairs called the tribunal “illegally constituted” and stated its actions violate the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). India also blamed Pakistan for staging a “charade” to deflect attention from its support for terrorism. Following the April Pahalgam attack, India suspended its IWT obligations until Pakistan renounces cross-border terrorism. The MEA reiterated that no tribunal has jurisdiction over India’s sovereign actions. Pakistan first objected to the projects in 2006, alleging they violate water-sharing terms. (PC: News18)
