India officially notified Pakistan of its decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty with immediate effect, citing violations by Islamabad. According to a letter from India’s Secretary of Water Resources, Debashree Mukherjee, addressed to her Pakistani counterpart Syed Ali Murtaza, Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism targeting Jammu and Kashmir undermines India’s treaty rights.
"The principle of honoring treaties in good faith is fundamental. However, what we are witnessing is Pakistan’s ongoing cross-border terrorism aimed at the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir," Mukherjee stated in the letter.
