Tensions between India and Pakistan over the “suspended” Indus Water Treaty escalated this week, as Islamabad hosted a daylong international conference on the agreement's legal status and one of its ministers threatened to "cut off" the hands of anyone who interferes with the country's water supply.
Pakistan's climate change minister Musadik Malik told a press conference on Monday that India was “controlling” Pakistan's share of water from the river network that the two countries share.
