Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has hailed the Central Government’s latest move to suspend the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan as a “historic and bold” decision that demonstrates India’s firm stance against terrorism. The action, taken following a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marks a significant escalation in India’s response to cross-border terrorism.
“The time for tolerance is over. The country has now adopted a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism,” said CM Dhami, addressing the media. “This decision, under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Modi, is a fitting reply to Pakistan, which continues to support and shelter terrorists.”
The Indus Water Treaty, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, governs the distribution of river waters between India and Pakistan. The suspension of this agreement comes amid rising tensions following a series of terror incidents allegedly linked to groups operating from Pakistani soil.
“This move sends a powerful message—not just to Pakistan, but to the entire world—that India will not compromise its national security,” Dhami added. “The message is loud and clear: blood and water cannot flow together.”
In addition to suspending the treaty, the government has also reportedly ordered the closure of the Attari border check post, further tightening its stance. These steps, the Chief Minister said, are designed to dismantle Pakistan’s strategy of using terrorism as a state policy.
“These bold actions will not only cripple Pakistan’s water security but will also expose the country on the international stage,” Dhami asserted.
With these decisions, India aims to pressure Pakistan into reconsidering its approach to terrorism while safeguarding national interests through strong diplomatic and strategic moves.
