‘Blood, Water Can’t Flow Together’ Indus Water Treaty To Remain In Abeyance | India- Pakistan War

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. The decades-old treaty, brokered in 1960, governs water sharing with Pakistan. The announcement is expected to escalate regional tensions and draw global attention. MEA emphasized the move reflects India’s evolving security priorities and strategic assertiveness. #IndusWaterTreaty #ModiSpeech #IndiaPakistan #MEA #BreakingNews #PMModi #IndiaNews #WaterPolitics #IndusTreatySuspended #BloodAndWater #ModiWarning #IndiaGeopolitics #PakistanIndiaTensions #IndiaForeignPolicy #SouthAsiaNews #DiplomacyCrisis #IndiaMEA #NationalSecurityIndia #WaterDispute #ModiLatest Also Read Pakistan Appeals, But India Stands Firm: Indus Waters Treaty to Remain Paused :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-appeals-but-india-stands-firm-indus-waters-treaty-to-remain-paused-4153729.html?ref=DMDesc India To Keep Indus Waters Treaty Suspended Until Pakistan Ends Cross-Border Terrorism: MEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-to-keep-indus-waters-treaty-suspended-until-pakistan-ends-cross-border-terrorism-mea-4152251.html?ref=DMDesc India Begins Work On Hydroelectric Projects In Kashmir Amid Indus Treaty Suspension With Pakistan: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-begins-work-on-hydroelectric-projects-in-kashmir-amid-indus-treaty-suspension-with-pakistan-r-4143719.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Trump Scores MASSIVE Legal Victory | Supreme Court OKs Firing of Biden Appointees

In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump had the authority to fire Biden-appointed officials Wilcox and Harris mid-term, weakening decades-old congressional protections over independent agencies. The decision—criticized by Justice Kagan—allows presidents to remove executive officers without cause, but excludes the Federal Reserve. Trump’s firings stalled the NLRB and Merit Board, halting key decisions. While the ruling marks a major shift in separation of powers, the Court says a final judgment is still pending. #SCOTUS #TrumpvWilcox #ExecutivePower #SeparationOfPowers #PresidentialAuthority #AgencyIndependence #WilcoxFiring #NLRB #MeritBoard #SupremeCourtRuling #ConstitutionalLaw #JusticeKagan #FederalAgencies #AdministrativeLaw #TrumpLegalWin #CivilServiceRights #PresidentialControl #FederalReserve #ChecksAndBalances #USPolitics #LaborLaw #LegalPrecedent #BidenAppointees #CourtDecision #PoliticalInterference #JudicialPower #BreakingLegalNews #TrumpCourtVictory Also Read BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Promises Legal Aid to Teachers Affected by Supreme Court Job Loss Ruling :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-suvendu-promises-legal-support-to-jobless-teachers-after-sc-verdict-011-4115869.html?ref=DMDesc Uttar Pradesh Minister Affirms Commitment to Quality Education for Muslim Youths in Madrassas :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/committed-to-quality-education-for-muslim-youths-in-madrassas-011-3978887.html?ref=DMDesc Slovakian Supreme Court Dismisses Lawsuit By Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis Over Secret Police Allegations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/supreme-court-upholds-ruling-against-andrej-babis-over-secret-police-allegations-gen-3633545.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~
