New Delhi: India on Thursday handed out a veiled threat that it could consider reviewing the Indus Water Treaty in the wake of Pakistan using terrorism as an instrument of its state policy.
This would mean that water could be the new weapon used by India in teaching a lesson to Pakistan if the latter did not mend its ways.
A speculation in this regard was triggered after MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup, in response to a question, made it clear that “mutual trust” was important for such a treaty to work.
