US Edition‘India can no longer act on goodwill alone’: Shashi Tharoor on Indus Waters Treaty suspension
- In response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam that resulted in 26 civilian deaths in Jammu and Kashmir, India put the Indus Waters Treaty on hold in April 2025 as part of its countermeasures against Pakistan.
- India made this decision because Pakistan has repeatedly violated the treaty's spirit by sponsoring cross-border terrorism over the last four decades.
- The treaty, signed in 1960 and brokered by the World Bank, governs sharing of the Indus River waters between India and Pakistan and has withstood several wars until the recent suspension.

- Pakistan denounced the suspension as an act of aggression that jeopardizes millions of lives and pledged to prevent India from stepping beyond established boundaries by suspending the treaty.
