New Delhi (PTI): The government on Friday said it is working on a strategy to ensure not a single drop of water flows from India into Pakistan and asked chief ministers to ensure no Pakistani stays in the country beyond the stipulated deadline as security forces intensified anti-terror operations in the hunt for the Pahalgam killers.
Home Minister Amit Shah held a meeting to discuss the future course of action on the Indus Waters Treaty(IWT) of 1960 with Pakistan, which has been kept in abeyance by India following the Tuesday attack.
After the meeting, Jal Shakti Minister C R Paatil said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has issued a slew of directives, and that the meeting was held to follow up on them and Shah made several suggestions at the meeting for their effective implementation.
“We will ensure that not a single drop of water flows into Pakistan from India,” he said in remarks seen as tightening the screws on Pakistan.
Sources said the government is working on a long-term plan to ensure the effective implementation of its decisions.
