Pakistan will not obtain water from the rivers on which India has rights, said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, a month after a murderous attack in Jammu and Cashmire (Iiojk), led New Delhi to hang a river water sharing treaty between the neighbors.
The suspension of the Industry Water Treaty (IWT), negotiated by the World Bank in 1960, was among a series of measures announced by India against Pakistan last month after the attack on April 22 which killed 26 men, mainly Hindu tourists.
New Delhi accused Pakistan of the attack without presenting evidence and launched missile strikes on the Pakistani cities, triggering the worst military clashes in almost 30 years before the two parties accept a cease-fire on May 10.
“Pakistan will have to pay a high price for each terrorist attack … The army of Pakistan will pay him, the economy of Pakistan will pay him,” said Modi during a public event in the northwest state of Rajasthan, which borders Pakistan.

“The (military) operation continues because there is a clear message … that if there are acts of the genre that we have seen on April 22, there will be an answer, we will hit the terrorists,” Jaishankar told Doarch News over our.
“If the terrorists are in Pakistan, we will hit them where they are,” he added. There was no immediate response from Pakistan to Modi and Jaishankar’s comments.
