Tough Reply To Pakistan by Halting Indus Water Treaty: Pushkar Singh Dhami

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, action has begun on the historic and stern decisions taken in the CCS (Cabinet Committee on Security) meeting against terrorism.

As part of this, the Government of India has given a strong reply to Pakistan by halting the Indus Water Treaty.

Chief Minister Dhami stated that the bold steps taken under the Prime Minister's leadership not only reinforce India's 'zero tolerance' policy against terrorism but also send a clear message to enemies that India is ready to give a befitting reply to every terrorist attack.

He said that by suspending the Indus Water Treaty, the central government has made it clear that blood and water cannot flow together. This decisive move will shatter Pakistan's plans that shelter and promote terrorism. Similarly, decisions like closing the Attari border check post have also sent a strong message to Pakistan.

India on Wednesday downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan and announced a raft of measures, including expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 and immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post in view of the cross-border links to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
