Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has asserted that the Indus Waters Treaty remains “valid, binding and operative,” rejecting India's decision to suspend the agreement following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. Speaking on Tuesday, Dar maintained that the 1960 treaty, brokered by the World Bank, continues to govern the distribution and use of the Indus River system between the two countries. He warned that any attempt to deprive Pakistan of waters “rightfully allocated” under the treaty would have “profound consequences” for regional peace and security. India had suspended the pact as part of punitive measures against Pakistan after the attack.
