ISLAMABAD: The National Security Committee (NSC) of Pakistan has suspended trade, ties and flights off-limits in response to India’s actions, followed by the Pahalgam terrorist attack in Kashmir.
A high-level meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC), held in Islamabad under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has concluded its emergency session.
The high-level meeting was attended by all services chiefs, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. According to official sources, the forum thoroughly discussed the prevailing security environment, particularly focusing on India’s hostile posture and provocative actions.
Sources revealed that the committee was given a comprehensive briefing on Pakistan’s armed forces’ operational preparedness in the event of any Indian aggression. Expressing satisfaction over the current state of military readiness, the NSC reiterated that any misadventure by India would be met with a full-force response.
The meeting also deliberated on India’s attempts to revoke the Indus Waters Treaty unilaterally. The committee was informed that India does not possess the authority to terminate the treaty unilaterally, and Pakistan is well within its rights to raise the issue at relevant international forums.
In response to the decision to expel Pakistani diplomats from India, the NSC resolved to take appropriate diplomatic steps. The committee hinted at engaging global institutions to address India’s unilateral actions on both diplomatic and water-sharing fronts.
Emphasising restraint and responsibility, the committee maintained that Pakistan would respond with maturity but firmly defend its sovereignty and rights under international law.
The NSC meeting follows India’s suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty and the closure of the Attari-Wagah border. India’s actions have drawn widespread criticism, with Pakistani officials describing the move as both hasty and unjustified.
Pakistan is considering suspending all bilateral agreements with India, including the Simla Agreement Wagah Border immediately closed, all Indian transit suspended, Indian visas issued under the SAARC visa scheme cancelled, except for Sikh pilgrims, Indian defence, air and naval advisors declared persona non grata and ordered to leave Pakistan.
