“The Waters of the Indus” is an international agreement between the two countries concluded in September 1960 and regulating the joint use of the water of the Indo River and its tributaries. The way out of this agreement means that India no longer guarantees an unhindered flow of water to Pakistan.
The New York Times writes that these waters in Pakistan use 90% of the country's agriculture. And Islamabad will consider the “act of war” to fulfill the threat of India to block the flow.
After the meeting of the national security committee of Pakistan, the government of the country announced a number of large-scale response measures, in particular, the closure of the airspace for Indian air carriers, the reduction of the diplomatic personnel of India in Islamabad and the stop of all trade with New Delhi.
The highest civilian and military leadership of Pakistan called the actions of India “unilateral, politically motivated and legally invalid.” Islamabad also denies any involvement in the attack.
The Ministry of Defense of Pakistan on the social network X said that it was ready for war, and thanked the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi for “united the nation.”
Also in Pakistan they said that the Kishangana river will become a “fairy tale from the past” if India closes access to the waters.
Both India and Pakistan are nuclear states.
