India has dismissed claims by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif that Kashmir is part of ongoing diplomatic discussions, reaffirming that it considers the region an internal matter. Intelligence sources indicate that Pakistan’s statements are aimed at misleading its domestic audience.
Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), linking water-sharing to terrorism concerns. Despite the ceasefire, the treaty remains in abeyance, impacting Pakistan’s agriculture-dependent economy.
India’s Operation Sindoor targeted nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, aiming to deter cross-border terrorism. Pakistan’s drone strikes on Indian bases were met with measured Indian responses, showcasing India’s controlled approach.
While Pakistan praised U.S. mediation, India downplayed external involvement, rejecting offers from China, Malaysia, and Turkey, preferring a bilateral resolution.
Despite the ceasefire, Pakistan resumed shelling and drone strikes across the Line of Control (LoC), prompting India to maintain high military alert. India remains focused on degrading terrorist infrastructure while ensuring bilateral control over security matters.
