Jaishankar about Indus Waters Treaty :
India’s Foreign Minister, S. Jaishankar, recently made strong statements regarding the Indus Waters Treaty and ceasefire talks with Pakistan. He clearly said that India will not resume the treaty unless Pakistan ends cross-border terrorism in a real and permanent way.
The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, allows Pakistan to use much of the water from rivers that flow from India. However, after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir on April 22, India decided to freeze the treaty. India believes national security comes first and will not make any compromises while Pakistan supports terrorism.
Recently, Pakistan sent a letter to India asking to reconsider the suspension of the treaty. But Mr. Jaishankar made it clear that the situation will not change unless terrorism ends.
He also mentioned that India had carried out precise strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan on May 7. These were targeted only at terrorist hideouts, not at the Pakistani army. However, Pakistan chose not to stay out of the situation and responded poorly. Mr. Jaishankar said satellite images showed India’s strikes were much more effective than Pakistan’s response.
There was also controversy after former US President Donald Trump claimed that his administration had helped broker peace between India and Pakistan, possibly in exchange for future trade deals. India has denied any third-party involvement. Mr. Jaishankar emphasized that all talks and dealings with Pakistan are strictly bilateral – between the two countries only. This has been India’s long-standing policy.
He also said that trade talks between India and the US are ongoing, but any deal must benefit both countries equally. No final decision has been made yet.
From India’s perspective, peace is possible only if Pakistan completely stops supporting terrorism. Until then, India will not resume the Indus treaty or enter into any serious dialogue. India remains firm and clear: national interest and security come first.
