India Rejects Hague Court Award on Indus Waters Treaty

India Rejects Hague Court Award on Indus Waters Treaty

India and Pakistan have a long-standing agreement called the Indus Waters Treaty about sharing river water.

Recently, a court in The Hague made a decision about this treaty, but India said it doesn't accept this decision because it thinks the court was set up wrong.

India also said it won't follow the treaty fully until Pakistan stops supporting terrorism against India.

India has paused some activities like sharing information and meetings, but it's still letting the water flow to Pakistan.

Pakistan, on the other hand, has responded with threats, saying any interference could lead to war.

India says it has been fair for 60 years, but Pakistan has used the treaty to delay India's projects.
