The conflict between India and Pakistan continues to come to a head: an Indian minister is now threatening to cut the neighboring country from a river.

In the broken up conflict with Pakistan, India threatens the neighboring country with drying out. “We will ensure that a single drop of water from the Indus Pakistan reaches,” said India’s water minister Cr Paatil on Friday in the short message service “X”. India had previously declared the termination of the so-called Indus Agreement. It is about the use of the Indus and its tributaries, on which both countries – especially Pakistan – rely.

The Indus rises in Tibet, flows through the Indian Kashmir area and then long through Pakistan to the mouth of the Arab Sea. The agreement was closed in 1960 and had survived two wars between the neighboring countries.

In the Kashmir Valley in northern India, 26 tourists were specifically killed by attackers on Tuesday. According to Indian authorities, at least some of the attackers are said to have been Pakistanis. An Islamist group of extremists had known for the attack. India blames its neighboring country for what Pakistan rejects. Since then, both have overwhelmed threats and sanctions such as the designation of citizens of the respective neighboring country.

India has long accused its neighboring country of supporting Islamic extremists. The Kashmir area is important for tourism, but at the same time the demarcation between the two nuclear powers has long been controversial. In addition, Kashmir is mostly inhabited by Muslims, while in India the overall Hindus put the majority.
