New Delhi:
The Cabinet Committee on Security or CCS - the country highest-decision making body on national security has taken some strict and punishing measures against Pakistan over the "cross-border linkages" that have surfaced in the investigation over the dastardly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir Pahalgam, in which 26 people, including one foreign national, were killed.
The Indus Waters Treaty was signed on September 19, 1960. The pact was signed between India and Pakistan, with the World Bank brokering the agreement. That treaty withstood three wars between India and Pakistan in 1965, 1971, and 1999, but is now suspended indefinitely.
Announcing the measure, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said, "In the briefing to the CCS, the cross-border linkages of the terrorist attack were brought out. It was noted that this attack came in the wake of the successful holding of elections in the Union Territory and its steady progress towards economic growth and development."
He went on to say that "Recognising the seriousness of this terrorist attack, the CCS decided upon the following measures:"
The Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 will be held in abeyance with immediate effect, until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism.
The Integrated Check Post Attari-Wagah border will be closed with immediate effect. Those who have crossed over with valid endorsements may return through that route before 01 May 2025.
