In a bold statement amid rising tensions, India has decided to put the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance. Quoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reiterated, “Blood and water can’t flow together.” This symbolic yet significant suspension marks a sharp turn in India's diplomatic stance, highlighting deepening hostilities.
