2 Min Read

Pakistan blocked his airspace for Indian airlines on Thursday, closed the Wagah’s border crossing, suspended all the trade with India and said that any attempt to divert the water destined for Pakistan under the Water Treaty of the Indo will be considered an act of war.

The ads were made after a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to formulate the country’s response to the move of India to suspend the Indus Water Treaty and reduce diplomatic ties after Pahalgam’s terrorist attack.

The meeting attended key ministers and the three chiefs of services.

“Any threat to Pakistan’s sovereignty and for the safety of its people will be with firm reciprocal measures in all domains. India Shousd refrains from his reflective guilt game and a cynical, managed or incident operation such as Pahallgam.

“These tactics only serve to inflame tensions and obstruct the path to peace and stability in the region,” according to a statement published after the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting.

The meeting decided to block the Pakistani airspace for the Indian airlines and close the Wagah border crossing.

A decision was also the task of suspending the visas under the SAARC visa exemption scheme to the Indians, except for the Sijs pilgrims.

Pakistan suspended “all trade” with India, including these routes through third countries.

Pakistan rejected the Indian decision to suspend the Indo Water Treaty, saying that it is the life line of 240 million Pakistani.

“Any attempt to divert or stop the water destined for Pakistan under the Indo Water Treaty will be considered an act of war,” said the statement.

Pakistan also asked the military advisors of the High Commission of India to leave before April 30, he said.
