Reference News website reported on April 24 that according to a report from the Financial Times website on April 23, Pakistani officials said on April 23 that India's government suspension of an important cross-border water agreement was waging a "water war".
The report mentioned that after a fatal attack in the Indian-controlled Kashmir region, Indian officials announced on April 23 that the cabinet meeting decided to "temporarily suspend" the Indus Waters Treaty signed in 1960 until "Pakistan credibly and irreversibly renounces support for cross-border terrorism". This treaty stipulates the use of water resources of the Indus River by the two countries.
Indian officials also mentioned the "cross-border links" of this attack, but did not specify what role Pakistan was suspected of playing in it.
The report said that the Pakistani Foreign Ministry expressed "deep concern" over the tourist attack incident in a statement on April 23 and extended condolences to the families of the deceased.
The report also said that Pakistani Power Minister Aweis Legari condemned India's "reckless" move to suspend the implementation of the Indus Waters Treaty on X on the evening of April 23.
He said this was "a water war, a cowardly illegal act". (Compiled/Translated by Yang Xuelei)
