India has criticized Pakistan for what it called state-sponsored misinformation during a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Indian officials stated that Pakistan is spreading false narratives against India at the regional forum. They also confirmed that the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) between the two countries is currently in abeyance, meaning it is not being implemented. The treaty, signed in 1960, governs the sharing of water from the Indus River system. Tensions between India and Pakistan have been high for years, with both sides frequently exchanging accusations. The Indian delegation at the ASEAN meeting highlighted what they described as a pattern of misinformation from Pakistan aimed at undermining India's position. No further details were provided about the specific claims made or the response from Pakistan. The Indus Waters Treaty has been a point of contention, with India previously signaling that it might reconsider the agreement due to cross-border terrorism. The current status of the treaty remains unclear, but India's statement at the ASEAN meeting reaffirms its position that the treaty is suspended. The meeting focused on regional cooperation, but bilateral issues often surface during such gatherings.
