‘Only talks through DGMOs’

What happens to the Indus Waters Treaty?

Shortly after India and Pakistan had agreed for a ‘de-escalation,’ on Saturday, officials stated that the already suspended Indus Waters Treaty will remain in abeyance.

Top government officials reiterated the same on Sunday, stating that Indus Waters Treaty is linked to cross-border terrorism, and the treaty will be in abeyance as long as terrorism sponsored by Pakistan against India continues.

Officials also asserted that Pakistan cannot expect to continue with terrorism while expecting cooperation in areas of its choosing, reported ANI.

'Pakistan realised they were not in that league'

Indian officials also claimed that most of Pakistan's attacks were foiled, and that India attacked at will.

There was a gap between technical and military application, the difference between India and Pakistan was massive, and Pakistan realised they were not in that league, reported ANI, quoting officials.

Following the ceasefire violations, General Upendra Dwivedi reviewed the security situation with the Army commanders of the Western Borders.

'Operation Sindoor not yet concluded'

As per the Indian government, Operation Sindoor is not yet concluded, and there is a “new normal” in how India reacts to cross-border terrorism. Next week, India is also scheduled to send a team to the UN, with evidence about Pakistan's support for terrorism.

Touted as the Indian military’s biggest and deepest strike yet, ‘Operation Sindoor’ marks the first joint operation since the 1971 war. On May 7, all three defence branches — Army, Navy, and Air Force — coordinated to carry out the strikes at nine terror beds in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to eliminate Jaish-e-Muhammed and Lashkar leadership.
