In response to India’s diplomatic actions following the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan announced Thursday it will suspend all bilateral agreements, including the Simla Agreement, and halt trade with India. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s National Security Committee also decided to close Pakistani airspace to Indian airlines and shut the Wagah border. Pakistan rejected India's move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, calling any water diversion an “act of war.” Additionally, Islamabad will cut its High Commission staff to 30 and expel Indian defence officials. These retaliatory steps mark a new low in India-Pakistan ties, escalating tensions across diplomatic and security fronts.
