**ISLAMABAD** – Pakistan has issued a stark warning to India, threatening to potentially suspend the 1972 Simla Agreement following India’s decision to temporarily halt cooperation under the Indus Waters Treaty. The move comes in the wake of a deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which left 26 civilians dead.
While India has not officially confirmed suspending the treaty, Pakistani officials claim that India’s actions constitute a breach of the agreement and have vowed a retaliatory measure. The Simla Agreement, a landmark peace accord between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, governs their relationship and sets the framework for resolving disputes. Pakistan’s threat to suspend this agreement signifies a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries. The specific nature of Pakistan’s intended actions remains unclear. The situation is closely monitored amid fears of further deterioration in already strained bilateral relations.
