Jaishankar Slams Pakistan on Indus Treaty: "Can't Share Water While Spreading Terror"

• EAM S. Jaishankar criticized Pakistan, stating India won't share water if terrorism persists, linking it to the Indus Water Treaty.
• India is proceeding with the Dulhasti Stage-II Power Project on the Chenab River, a move Pakistan is complaining about.
• Jaishankar emphasized India's right to defend itself against a "bad neighbor" using terrorism as state policy.
• He asserted India's sovereign right to decide its response to terrorism, rejecting external pressure.
• Water-sharing agreements like IWT are based on good neighborly relations, which are undermined by continuous terrorism.

Why It Matters: India asserts its right to self-defense and links water sharing to Pakistan ending state-sponsored terrorism.
