Following the deaths of 26 civilians in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir last month, which New Delhi attributes to Islamabad, India halted its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan. Before a ceasefire was reached last week, the heaviest fighting between the two nations in decades occurred as Pakistan denied the accusations.
Despite numerous changes in diplomatic relations, the pact had withstood three wars and other confrontations between the fierce adversaries.

India states that it will “keep the treaty in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism,”
