Part of situation: India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty dispute intensifies (46 clusters)

Pakistan PM warns India over Indus Waters Treaty water rights

Indus Waters Treaty Shehbaz Sharif Omar Abdullah water security India-Pakistan relations

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has issued a stern warning to India regarding the Indus Waters Treaty, declaring that every drop of Pakistan's water share is a 'red line.' Sharif, speaking during Independence Day celebrations in Islamabad, criticized India's unilateral suspension of the 1960 treaty, which occurred following a terror attack in Pahalgam in April 2025. He warned that any attempt to block Pakistan's water supply would trigger a direct and strong response, potentially more severe than the military confrontation seen in May 2025.

In Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has called for the restoration of statehood and special constitutional status. Abdullah argued that the suspension of the treaty has prevented the region from fully utilizing its own water resources, such as the Chenab and Jhelum rivers. He also suggested that if the region's special status had not been revoked in 2019, residents in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir might have sought reunification with Jammu and Kashmir.

India's Ministry of External Affairs has maintained its firm stance, stating there is no change in its position. New Delhi links the revival of the treaty to Pakistan taking irreversible steps to end cross-border terrorism. The tension follows a period of heightened military friction between the two nations earlier in 2025.
