Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on the same,” MEA spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said.The govt said India’s position on Indus Waters Treaty remained consistent. “IWT stands in abeyance in response to Pakistan’s continued sponsorship of cross-border terrorism, including the Pahalgam attack. IWT will continue to be held in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism,” the official said.The govt strongly condemned Pakistan’s continued practice of propagating officially sponsored disinformation, often dressed in religious terminology such as the use of terms like ‘Fitna al-Hindustan’.”This is a futile attempt by the Pakistani establishment to deflect attention from its own internal crises and its well-proven role as a safe haven for global terrorist networks. Instead of pointing fingers at its neighbours and misusing international platforms, Pakistan would serve itself and its people far better by dismantling the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil and putting its own house in order,” the official said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
