5 Min Read
In a strong response to the terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, Kashmir, the government of India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and has taken four other steps to convey its strong displeasure with Pakistan over its link with terrorists. On 22 April 2025, at least five terrorists killed 26 tourists, including one from Nepal, after being identified as Hindus.
The banned Resistance Front (TRF), linked with Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has claimed responsibility for the attack. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which investigates terror incidents in India, has started a probe into the incident.
A meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CSS) was held on 23 April 2025 at the Prime Minister's residence, located at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the meeting. It was attended by the Union Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the External Affairs Minister, Dr S. Jaishankar, the National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, and others.
Decisions taken at the CCS are as follows.
India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 immediately, unless Pakistan completely stops its support for cross-border terrorism.
About the Indus Water Treaty
The Integrated Check Post in Attari, Punjab, is India’s first Land Port and the only permitted land route for border trade with Pakistan, as well as the cross-movement of people.
The SAARC Exemption Visa Scheme for Pakistanis has been suspended. Pakistani nationals who are in India on a Visa have been asked to leave within 48 hours.
The strength of the Pakistan High Commission will be reduced to 30 from the current 55 by 1st May 2025.
The Defence attaché in the Pakistani embassy in India has to leave the country within a week. India will also remove its defence attachés from the Indian High Commission in Pakistan.
TRF or the Resistance Front is a terrorist organisation that is seen as a front of the Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) of Hafiz Saeed.
