Terror Attack in Pahalgam Sparks India-Pakistan Standoff: What’s at Stake?

Pakistan Threats India: Ever since the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, there has been a lot of bitterness between India and Pakistan. The gulf of relations between the two countries has become very deep. Ever since India suspended the Indus Water Treaty, Pakistan has been furious. Their fury can be gauged from their threat of nuclear weapons.

Not only this, the officials and leaders of the Pakistani government are also making absurd statements. On the other hand, Pakistan is not refraining from giving its threats. Pakistan was most offended when India banned all types of imports and exports. Third countries also decided to ban Pakistani goods.

Why is Pakistan furious?

India has taken many big decisions after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The biggest decision is to end the Indus Water Treaty. Because of this, the Pakistani government has completely panicked. Anyway, the Indus Water Treaty signed between India and Pakistan in 1960 with the mediation of the World Bank has now become a cause of tension. After India’s decision, Pakistan says that if India stops water in the lower areas or diverts its flow, it will be considered an act of war.

Is tension between the two countries less important?

During an interview, Jamali admitted that both the countries are nuclear powers and in such a situation, increasing tension can put the entire South Asia in danger. Along with this, he has demanded an impartial international investigation of the Pahalgam attack. He said that Russia and China may have played a big role in this. However, India has denied this demand of Pakistan.

Indian government strict on Pakistani players
