20,000 Indians Murdered in Terrorist Attacks": India Condemns Pakistan at the UN

India has strongly criticized Pakistan for spreading disinformation regarding the Indus Waters Treaty, which was suspended by India following a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam last month. At the United Nations, India's Permanent Representative, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, accused Pakistan of being a "global epicentre of terror" and said the treaty will remain suspended until it stops supporting cross-border terrorism. He also mentioned that over 20,000 Indians have been killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, emphasizing that India has shown "extraordinary patience and magnanimity" despite facing such challenges.

The Indus Waters Treaty, which dates back to 1960, is currently in abeyance due to the ongoing tension between the two countries. India's suspension of the treaty came as a response to the Pahalgam attack, which it linked to cross-border terrorism. Ambassador Harish highlighted four key points that, according to India, expose Pakistan's malicious intentions:

1. India signed the treaty in good faith, but Pakistan has breached its spirit by carrying out wars and thousands of terror attacks.
2. Despite changes in technology, security concerns, and environmental conditions, Pakistan has consistently blocked any modifications to the treaty, which could help ensure safety and efficient water usage.
3. India has attempted to discuss modifications to the treaty on several occasions, but these efforts have been met with rejection from Pakistan.
4. The suspension of the treaty is a direct consequence of Pakistan's continuous support for terrorism, making it difficult for India to exercise its legitimate rights.

The situation escalated further with "Operation Sindoor," where India targeted terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, and the subsequent retaliation from Pakistan. A ceasefire agreed upon on May 10 has temporarily halted the hostilities. The future of the Indus Waters Treaty remains uncertain as it is contingent upon Pakistan's commitment to ending its support for terrorism.
