India has rejected a ruling by a Hague-based Court of Arbitration that said the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan remains in force and asked New Delhi to limit work on a hydroelectric project in Jammu and Kashmir. The Ministry of External Affairs called the court “illegally constituted” and said it has no jurisdiction over India’s sovereign decisions. India also said it has never recognised the arbitration body or its proceedings. New Delhi maintained that its decision to keep the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance remains in force and that the court’s present or future rulings will not affect India’s projects. (PC: India Today)
