New Delhi:
With its back against the wall and no other options available, Pakistan’s top committee on security met today and after an hours-long discussion decided to mirror India’s actions in the wake of the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
Islamabad too has decided to suspend the permits issued to Indians under the SAARC visa exemption scheme, while also suspending all other visas, as was done by India a day before. It also decided to reduce Indian diplomatic staff at the High Commission to 30 persons in a tit-for-tat decision.
But finding itself on the losing end on India’s decision to suspend tthe Indus Waters Treaty, Pakistan said, “Any attempt to stop or divert the flow of water belonging to Pakistan as per the Indus Waters Treaty, and the usurpation of the rights of lower riparian will be considered as an Act of War and responded with full force across the complete spectrum of national power.”
