Former Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal has called for the indefinite suspension of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan following the terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26. "Blood and water can't go together," Sibal posted on X, urging India to act on its declared position. The attack, claimed by Lashkar-linked group TRF, occurred during US Vice President JD Vance’s visit, which Sibal cited as a strategic advantage. He said the move would send a strong message not only to Pakistan but also to regional neighbors. The treaty, signed in 1960, governs water-sharing between the two countries. (PC: NDTV)
