16:32 25.04.2025 (Updated: 16:37 25.04.2025) "India will punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth," Prime Minister Modi declared at a public appearance in the state of Bihar on Thursday.
Suhail Shaheen, Head of the Taliban's* Political Office in Doha and Afghanistan's Ambassador-designate to Qatar, strongly condemned the Pahalgam terrorist attack on 22 April that claimed the lives of 25 Indians and one Nepalese citizen.
"A comprehensive investigation should be conducted into the incident in order to find the real culprits and bring them to justice," Shaheen, who is also Afghanistan's Permanent Representative (PR)-designate to the United Nations (UN), told Sputnik India.
On Wednesday, the interim Afghan government's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Abdul Qahar Balkhi also condemned the Pahalgam terror attack in a statement.
"Such incidents undermine efforts to ensure regional security and stability," Balkhi said. Earlier, India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) briefed foreign envoys posted in New Delhi at the South Block on the Pahalgam attack. Ambassadors from Russia, US, China, European Union (EU) and France among others attended the briefing.
The Pahalgam terrorist attack has sparked a fresh wave of diplomatic and military tensions between India and Pakistan. There were reports of
ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) by Pakistani forces Thursday evening onwards, prompting retaliatory fire from the Indian Army.
India's Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has said that there are "cross-border linkages" to the attack, reportedly claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba** (LeT).
Indian government sources said on Thursday evening that the Indus Water Treaty has officially been put "in abeyance", after Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced a day before that the water-sharing pact would remain suspended till "Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism".
In a Thursday statement MEA also informed that India has revoked the visas of all Pakistani citizens in the country, asking them to leave India by 27 April. At the same time, MEA has strongly advised Indian citizens against travelling to Pakistan and urged those present there to immediately return to India. The CCS also decided to downgrade diplomatic ties with Pakistan, including the expulsion of tri-service advisors from the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi and reducing the diplomatic staff strength from 55 to 30.
Following India's moves, Pakistan's National Security Council (NSC), chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, met on Thursday. A statement by Pakistan's Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said that any attempt to "stop or divert" the flow of the Indus River system would be considered as an "act of war".
Pakistan's NSC also decided to hold the Simla Pact of 1972 in abeyance among other decisions, which also include cutting down trade ties and closing Pakistani airspace to Indian airlines.
