ACT OF WAR To Hold Back Indus Water: Pakistan Responds To India's Diplomatic Slap, Pauses Simla Pact

In a significant escalation following the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan's National Security Committee convened to deliberate on India's retaliatory measures. In a tit-for-tat response, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement, and the immediate closure of the Wagah border for all cross-border transit. Additionally, Pakistan imposed a ban on all Indian-owned or operated airlines from its airspace and halted all trade activities with India, including via third countries. The SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme for Indian nationals was also suspended, and Indian military diplomats were declared persona non grata. Pakistan further reduced the number of Indian diplomats in Islamabad to 30 and mandated that all Indian nationals, except Sikh pilgrims, leave Pakistan within 48 hours. Pakistan's response underscores the heightened tensions between the two nations, with both sides taking stringent measures in the wake of the deadly attack.​#TOIBharat #PahalgamAttack #JKTerrorAttack #India #Pakistan #TerrorResponse #PahalgamRevenge #PahalgamAttack #Pakistan #IndoPakWar #ActOfWar #PakistanResponds #IndusWatersTreaty #SimlaAgreement #PakistanNationalSecurityCommittee #IndoPakRelations2025 #WagahBorderClosure #IndusWatersTreatySuspension #SAARCVisaExemptionSuspended #PakistanAirspaceClosure #IndianDiplomatsExpelled #PakistanTradeSuspensionIndia #KashmirTourismImpact2025​
