India strongly criticised Pakistan at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, accusing it of politicising the forum by raising the Indus Waters Treaty issue.
Indian diplomat Anupama Singh said New Delhi was deeply concerned by the “persistent and deliberate attempt by a particular delegation to politicise the proceedings of this Council,” adding that such actions undermine the platform’s integrity and deflect attention from core issues.
Referring to the 1960 treaty, Singh noted it was concluded in a spirit of goodwill and friendship, but “the world of 1960 is not the world of today.” She said the “grim reality of relentless state-sponsored cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan fundamentally erodes the environment required for honouring treaty obligations.”
She stressed that lasting cooperation “is rooted in trust, not terror,” and called out Islamabad for what she described as wilful violations of the treaty’s core tenets.

“The Council must not allow itself to be used as a platform for diversion and distortion. It must instead recognise that lasting cooperation is rooted in trust, not terror,” Singh said.
In April 2025, following the Pakistan-backed terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the government placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance.
India decided that it would suspend its obligations under the pact until Pakistan ends its support for cross-border terrorism.
A formal note verbale was also sent to Islamabad informing it of the decision, which means no meetings of Indus Waters Commissioners, data-sharing or routine obligations will be carried out while the suspension remains in force.
