NEW DELHI: The Indus Waters Treaty will remain suspended “until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism”, Union Jal Shakti ministry has conveyed to the cabinet secretary in its monthly report.Though the ministry has articulated the country’s well stated position on the issue after keeping the treaty in abeyance, the communication assumes significance in the wake of the latest missive from Pakistan appealing to India to reconsider the 1960 treaty, citing the dependence of millions of people on the water being regulated by it.In a report to cabinet secretary T V Somanathan on Tuesday, Debashree Mukherjee, secretary of Jal Shakti ministry, said the govt announced that the treaty would be held in “abeyance” with immediate effect in the aftermath of the “Pakistan-sponsored” terror attack on civilians in Pahalgam.“The key water-sharing treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism,” she said in her report.
