In a robust diplomatic and strategic reaction to the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that took the lives of 26 innocent people, the Indian government has decided to suspend the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan with immediate effect. This follows as part of a wider crackdown on Pakistan’s terrorism support, including the expulsion of military and defense advisors from the Pakistani High Commission.
In the wake of increasing tensions, a viral social media video features terrorist Hafiz Saeed, a UN-designated global terrorist, as he spouts venom against India. Saeed is seen in the video threatening, “If you stop Pakistan’s water, we will stop your breath. Rivers will flow with blood.”

Saeed also accuses India of attempting to ruin Pakistan through water blockage through dam structures in Kashmir and disrupting the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
