US Edition‘Only thing which remains…’: Jaishankar's BIG remark amid reports of Pakistan approaching India over Indus Treaty
- On May 16, 2025, India's Foreign Minister highlighted that the Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended until Pakistan completely ends its support for cross-border terrorism, and expressed willingness to engage in talks concerning the return of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to India.
- India's position follows the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent military response, including Operation Sindoor on May 7, which targeted terrorist infrastructure in nine locations across Pakistan and PoK.
- Jaishankar emphasized that further talks with Pakistan will focus solely on terrorism, requiring Pakistan to hand over terrorists and dismantle their infrastructure, while India maintains strictly bilateral engagement without third-party mediation.
- Satellite images show extensive damage to 11 Pakistani military sites from Indian strikes, prompting Pakistan to seek a ceasefire on May 10 after three days of hostilities, which India confirmed with evident military impact.
- This stance underscores India's national consensus on dealing with Pakistan only bilaterally and signals that resolution of the Kashmir issue hinges on Pakistan vacating illegally occupied territories and stopping terrorism irrevocably.
