Indus Waters Treaty Cancelled Over Terrorism Claims At UN
- Indus Waters Treaty raised at UN Security Council debate
- India accuses Pakistan of legalising terrorism at UNO
Hyderabad: India strongly criticised Pakistan at the United Nations, accusing it of trying to legalise terrorism and misusing international platforms. India said this approach led to the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Parvathaneni Harish, delivered the response during a United Nations Security Council meeting.
The sharp reaction followed remarks made by Pakistan’s Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmed at the meeting on Monday. He referred to Operation Sindh, Jammu and Kashmir, and the Indus Waters Treaty. He claimed there was no situation in which India had created a new normal by punishing terrorism. He also said this became clear after Operation Sindhoor. India rejected these claims and termed them false propaganda.
Meanwhile, Parvathaneni Harish responded firmly on behalf of India. He said Pakistan’s agenda in international forums has always been to harm India and its people. He explained the terror attack in Pahalgam and the subsequent Operation Sindhoor carried out by India. He reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and stressed that Pakistan has no right to comment on India’s internal affairs.
Also, India addressed the Indus Waters Treaty during the response. Harish recalled that India signed the Indus Waters Treaty 65 years ago in a spirit of trust and friendship. However, he said Pakistan violated the treaty by promoting terrorism. Therefore, India decided to suspend the treaty. He made it clear that the decision followed repeated actions that went against the basic principles of trust and cooperation.
Later, India again rejected Pakistan’s statements on Operation Sindhoor and Jammu and Kashmir. India said Pakistan continues to spread false narratives at the United Nations. Harish stated that India’s actions were a response to terrorism and aimed at protecting its people. He underlined that attempts to distort facts would not change reality.
The exchange at the United Nations once again highlighted sharp differences between India and Pakistan. India maintained that terrorism cannot be justified or normalised under any circumstances. It said international platforms should not be used to shield such actions. India’s response sought to place its position clearly on record before the global community.
