After Deadly Attack In Tourist Area Of Kashmir, India Takes Severe Measures Against Pakistan And Escalates Decade-Long Diplomatic Conflict
The tension between India and Pakistan has increased drastically following an attack on civilians in Pahalgam, in the Kashmir region. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has ordered all Pakistani citizens to leave the country by April 29. The decision was announced on Thursday, the 24th, marking a new level in the diplomatic crisis between the two countries.
Attack In Tourist Area Leaves Dead In India
On Tuesday, the 22nd, armed men opened fire on tourists in Pahalgam, a mountainous area popular among visitors. At least 24 people perished in what the Indian police classified as the “worst attack on civilians in years”. So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Immediate Reactions And Drastic Measures
In response to the attack, India unilaterally suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960 with mediation from the World Bank.

The country also closed the only land passage with Pakistan. The Indian government accuses “cross-border elements” of the massacre and released the names of three suspects, two of whom are allegedly Pakistani. However, no evidence has been presented so far.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised punishment. “Those responsible will be brought to justice”, he stated.
Severe Response From Pakistan
The Pakistani government responded by suspending airspace for Indian airlines. It also rejected the suspension of the water treaty, labeling the measure as a serious violation. In an official statement, Pakistan said that any attempt to divert the flow of water will be treated as an “act of war”.
Decades-Long Conflict
The dispute over Kashmir dates back to 1947, with the independence of India and Pakistan. Since then, the region has been the scene of three wars and several skirmishes. Two-thirds of the territory remains under Indian control, while the rest is administered by Pakistan.
The separatist insurgency in Kashmir continues to fuel the conflict, with India accusing Pakistan of supporting militant groups. Islamabad denies this, claiming to only support the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.
