India's Envoy to US Accuses Pakistan of Destroying Indus Water Treaty's Spirit

India's envoy to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, has accused Pakistan of dismantling the goodwill and friendship underpinning the Indus Water Treaty over the past five decades. In an article published in Newsweek, Kwatra said India's decision to put the treaty in abeyance merely acknowledged what Pakistan's conduct had already destroyed. He argued that Pakistan's persistent hostility, cross-border terrorism, and obstruction of India's initiatives under the treaty had eroded India's faith in the agreement. Kwatra also stated that any future cooperation between India and Pakistan depends on Islamabad ending its terror activities and obstructionist policies.
