Srinagar, Kashmir – The recent attack on civilians near Pahalgam in Kashmir has shattered the illusion of calm in the region, sparking concerns over India’s response to the violence. The killing of innocent people has brought about heightened tensions and raised questions about the ongoing conflict in Kashmir.

The attack in Pahalgam is a stark reminder of the fragile situation in the region, where violence can erupt at any moment, threatening the safety and security of civilians. India is faced with the challenge of addressing the killings and preventing further escalation of violence.

In response to the attack, India has summoned Pakistan’s envoy and served a Persona non grata notice for military staff. The government is set to hold an all-party meeting to discuss the situation and determine a course of action moving forward.

The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty adds another layer of complexity to the situation, as India considers its options in the aftermath of the attack. The ex-commissioner on Indus Waters sheds light on the different pathways India could take in response to the treaty suspension.

The downgrading of ties between India and Pakistan following the attack on Kashmir tourists highlights the strain in relations between the two countries. The repercussions of the attack extend beyond the immediate violence, affecting diplomatic relations and regional stability.

As the situation in Kashmir continues to evolve, it is crucial for both India and Pakistan to engage in dialogue and find peaceful solutions to address the root causes of conflict. The international community plays a vital role in supporting efforts to de-escalate tensions and promote stability in the region.
