Modi Says Pakistan Will Not Get Water From Indian-Controlled Rivers
- On May 22, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Pakistan will not receive water from rivers where India holds rights under the Indus Waters Treaty.
- This statement followed India's suspension last month of key treaty provisions after a deadly April 22 attack in Indian-administered Kashmir killed 26 people.
- India also imposed trade suspensions, closed land borders, and halted most visas, while Pakistan denied involvement but remained open to water-sharing talks under treaty terms.
- The Indus Waters Treaty, established in 1960, supplies 80% of Pakistani farm water from three rivers flowing from India; Pakistan’s Senate called India’s suspension illegal and harmful to its water security.
- Despite strained relations and military tensions, including a ceasefire agreement on May 10, the treaty’s legal bindingness and ongoing dialogue remain focal to potential conflict resolution.
