Could water become a flashpoint between Islamabad and New Delhi?

The article discusses tensions between India and Pakistan over the Indus Water Treaty, a 1960 agreement governing the sharing of river resources between the two nations. Recently, India suspended its participation in the treaty following an alleged attack attributed to Pakistani-linked groups, which Pakistan denies. Islamabad has responded by asserting that India cannot unilaterally suspend the treaty and has emphasized its claim to a portion of the Indus River as a non-negotiable issue. Experts warn of potential escalation but suggest diplomatic channels remain open to de-escalate the situation.
