ISLAMABAD — A day after India unilaterally suspended a bilateral water-sharing treaty and downgraded diplomatic relations following a deadly terrorist attack in India-administered Kashmir, Pakistan on Thursday announced countermeasures similar to New Delhi’s and stressed that the country would consider any changes in the flow of water “an act of war” and respond with force.
India on Wednesday announced that it is holding the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, closing a border crossing with Pakistan, canceling regional visa exemptions for Pakistani citizens and downgrading diplomatic relations.
