India Pakistan News: India reminded Pakistan’s boss Pakistan once again. India on Friday (27 June 2025) termed the arbitration court formed under the Indus Water Treaty and rejected its jurisdiction. The Court of Arbitration issued a supplemental award, claiming that it had the right to take a decision on Kishanganga and Ratle Dams under the 1960 Indus Water Treaty.
India called Court of Arbitration illegal
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs said that this so -called court is illegal as it was formed by violating the Indus Water Treaty of 1960. The ministry said, “India has never accepted its existence or any of its previous decisions. We have never legally recognized this court. Taken from this court or any decision is illegal.”
The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated that India will not accept any obligation related to this treaty until Pakistan stops supporting terrorism across the border. The ministry said that no court, especially such an illegal court, has the right to review India’s sovereign rights.
‘Pakistan wants to distract attention from terrorism’
The Ministry of External Affairs said, “Pakistan has been identified as a base of terrorism and he resorts to false and misleading actions to divert attention. A gimmick like court of arbitration is part of the same strategy in which Pakistan tries to show itself the victim.”
The purpose of the Indus Water Treaty was to end the dispute by setting conditions of water sharing between the two countries. The Indus river system consists of a total of six rivers, including three Eastern rivers Ravi, Beas, Sutlej and three western rivers Indus, Jhelum, Chenab. Under this agreement, India has got the right to control and use of Eastern rivers, while Pakistan has got control of Western rivers.
Pakistan’s cultivation will affect
About 80 percent of Pakistan’s agricultural irrigation is dependent on the Indus water system. With the ban of India on the Indus Water Agreement, water will not reach water in the Indus River in Pakistan, which will create water crisis and it will directly affect the cultivation there.
