India’s Indus Waters Treaty Suspension: A Precedent For Regional Instability – OpEd
Tuesday, 3 June 2025 () The Indus Water Treaty (IWT), signed in 1960 between India and Pakistan, is a landmark water-sharing agreement brokered by the World Bank. It ensures Pakistan’s control over the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) and India’s control over the eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej), maintaining regional stability.
Pakistan is staring at a water disaster as India holds the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance. The flow of water from rivers like Chenab and Jhelum has plummeted, with Punjab province the worst affected. Water availability in the Indus system is down by over 10%, raising alarm for the...

In a lighthearted yet sharp moment during a press conference in New York, Shashi Tharoor was questioned by none other than his son, Ishan Tharoor of The Washington Post. With a smile, Tharoor quipped, "That shouldn’t be allowed," before answering a serious question about Pakistan's role in the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Representing India’s diplomatic response to terrorism under Operation Sindoor, Tharoor emphasized there was “no doubt” among global stakeholders about Pakistan’s involvement. The brief family exchange added a personal touch to a high-stakes global briefing.

Pakistani media outlets claim India released water into the Jhelum River without prior notice, causing sudden flooding near Chakothi in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Panic spread among residents along the riverbanks. Pakistani authorities issued warnings, linking the incident to India's response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. Following the attack, Indian PM Modi vowed justice and suspended the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistani media alleges the water release escalates regional tensions, while Indian officials have not commented, leaving Islamabad’s accusations hanging.

Ukraine has accused Russia of stalling peace negotiations by withholding a promised memorandum ahead of proposed Istanbul talks. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned that Ukraine won't attend without seeing the terms first, fearing a diplomatic ambush. The Kremlin insists its terms will be presented only at the table, while Kyiv seeks a cease-fire as the first step. With rising battlefield tensions and behind-the-scenes U.S. diplomacy, the looming talks remain uncertain. Trump’s envoy urged Ukraine to “show up,” even without clarity—raising serious doubts about Russia’s intentions and the talks’ credibility.

A Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky is en route to Istanbul for proposed peace talks with Ukraine on June 2. While Moscow expresses hope, Ukraine remains skeptical, demanding immediate delivery of Russia’s ceasefire draft and calling Russia’s silence a stalling tactic. Kyiv insists it already sent its own draft and had earlier demanded a 30-day truce—rejected by Russia. With tensions high, accusations mounting, and delegations unchanged, the possibility of a real breakthrough appears increasingly remote.

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust.

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor.
