- India ‘actively working’ to deprive Pakistan of water
India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) following the Pahalgam attack in April 2025, with Water Minister CR Patil stating the country is working to ensure 'not a single drop of water' flows to Pakistan. Pakistan has warned that any attempt to alter cross-border water flows would be considered an 'act of war,' citing the treaty's continued validity despite India's unilateral suspension.
