India, blaming the attack on Pakistani-backed militants, retaliated by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, an agreement that had been in place since 1960 despite three wars and several crises between the two countries.
Despite a ceasefire on May 10, the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty remains the most significant source of tension. New Delhi has said the treaty will not be implemented until Islamabad “verifiably and irreversibly” stops supporting terrorism.
