There is peace since the ceasefire on the India-Pakistan border.
New Delhi/Islamabad: A few days after the recent agreement between India and Pakistan, there is tension in the relationship between the two South Asian neighbors. On May 7, India carried out air strikes in Pakistan and POK, which was a response to a deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Pakistan has denied its involvement in this attack. This was followed by heavy firing and air fighting between the two countries for 4 days, until the sudden fight was announced on Saturday.
Things still far from normal
After the ceasefire, life is gradually becoming normal in the towns around LoC between India and Pakistan. However, the situation between the two countries is still far from normal. Prior to the ceasefire, India had taken several diplomatic steps against Pakistan, including suspending a Indus Water Treaty, stopping visas and stopping trade. In response, Pakistan also took revenge action and suspended visas for Indians, banned trade and closed its airspace for Indian flights. Let us know that both of these restrictive steps have not yet been withdrawn by both countries. Come, look at the situation of these 5 steps announced since the Pahgam attack:
1: suspension of Sidhu Water Treaty
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his first public remarks on the attack in the name of the nation on Monday, ‘India’s attitude is completely clear, terror and conversation cannot run together. Water and blood cannot flow together. ‘ Please tell that
This treaty in the World Bank’s mediation in 1960 controls the water-sharing of 6 rivers of the Indus River Basin. The treaty persisted between the two countries despite two wars and was considered an example of border water management, but its suspension changed the situation last month.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had earlier said that he believes in resolving the issue of water with India with peaceful talks. But this decision of India has brought a big change at diplomatic level. Pakistan is very much dependent on these rivers for its agriculture and civil water supply. Pakistan says that water cannot be made weapons. If India starts controlling the flow of water of the Indus River with the existing and possible structure, it may have a good effect on Pakistan in the dry season.
If the Indus water treaty remains suspended for a long time, Pakistan’s condition may be poor.
2: Visa suspension and discharge of diplomats
India reduced diplomatic relations with Pakistan under its retaliation. He expelled all Pakistani Defense Atashe as ‘Persona Non Grata’ (unwanted) and announced to recall his defense advisors from his High Commission in Islamabad. Pakistan also took similar steps. The two countries reduced the number of employees among their highways. In addition, the two countries suspended almost all visas for each other’s citizens.
3: Attari-Wagah border closed
Taking action against Pahalgam terror attacks, India closed the Attari border, and after some time Pakistan also announced to close the Wagah border. Let us know that this is the only way to travel between the two countries at present. The two countries initially gave their citizens about a week to return, but later the deadline was extended. Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had told reporters last week that this suspension would remain in force till next notice.
4: Close airspace
Pakistan announced to completely shut down its airspace for Indian flights, taking tension forward with India. Subsequently, India also retaliated to close its airspace for both Pakistani flights, military and commercial. Due to this, international flights are now going through long and expensive dizzy routes, which has increased both travel time and fuel expenses. Given Pakistan’s current gardener, it is proving to be very fatal for him.
5: Ban on all types of business
Both countries have also suspended all direct and indirect trade. Experts say that its effect on India will be less, as it does not import more from Pakistan. But this is a big problem for Pakistan. Pakistan, already facing high inflation and weak economy, may have to face more pressure from losing business routes and important accessories from India, such as raw materials and medicines.
Stress is not expected to end soon
Even though the ceasefire has stopped colliding, but due to these tough steps, the chances of tension in India and Pakistan are less likely to decrease. Lack of trust between the two countries and the economic and social influences of these restrictions have made the situation more complicated. India has clearly stated that until Pakistan stops raising terrorists, there cannot be any conversation with it. At the same time, Pakistan is not in the mood to take any action against terrorists.
