India Rebukes Pakistan at UN After Sharif's Water Treaty Threat

timesnownews.com —

India sharply rebuked Pakistan at the United Nations after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif threatened to treat any diversion of Indus River waters as an act of war, with India accusing Islamabad of terrorism and deceit. India's First Secretary Petal Gahlot dismissed Sharif's remarks as "bizarre" and "falsehoods," citing Pakistan's alleged support for cross-border terrorism and military control over its government. She referenced the 27th Amendment and Osama bin Laden's presence near a Pakistani military academy as evidence. Sharif had warned at the UN General Assembly that stopping or diverting Pakistan's water share would be considered an act of war, criticizing India's suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty following the April 2025 Pahalgam attack.
