In the wake of a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam and India’s subsequent suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the former Pakistani foreign minister, has issued a strong warning to India, reaffirming Pakistan’s stake in the Indus River. The heightened tensions between the two countries have not only sparked internal debates within Pakistan regarding water management projects but have also prompted India to begin the process of repatriating Pakistani citizens. As both nations gear up for potential international conflicts, the specter of a larger confrontation looms.
