The Modi govt is under tremendous pressure to take concrete actions against Pakistan to rein in terrorism emanating from its soil against India in the aftermath of the gruesome killing of 18 soldiers in the Uri terror attack on 18 September.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting on Monday with senior government officials to review the Indus Waters Treaty has further raised the possibility that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government may seek to alter or scrap the provisions of the 1960 treaty.
The Modi government is under tremendous public pressure to take concrete actions against Pakistan to rein in terrorism emanating from its soil against India in the aftermath of the gruesome killing of 18 soldiers in the Uri terror attack on 18 September.
But the key question is: Can India take unilateral actions altering the provisions of the treaty? There are no straightforward answers to this question between two hostile nuclear powers.
