Overview

  • Home Minister Amit Shah announced that India will never restore the Indus Waters Treaty after the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
  • Former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari told Pakistan’s parliament that his country will seize all six Indus basin rivers and wage war if its treaty share is blocked.
  • Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry criticized New Delhi’s suspension as a “brazen disregard” for its international obligations.
  • Indian officials estimate that the halt in water flow and data sharing has already cut Pakistan’s supply by about 20 percent, threatening irrigation and flood planning.
  • Bilawal also urged renewed counterterrorism dialogue, accusing India of weaponizing terror allegations and lobbying to reverse Pakistan’s FATF progress.
