India Pakistan News LIVE Updates: With the government announcing the members of the seven multi-party delegations that would visit different countries to convey India’s message post the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, which included Congress’s Shashi Tharoor as one of its heads, the party is now staring at another crisis within as the already frayed intra-party equations came to the fore. Early on Saturday, soon after the government announced delegation heads, the Congress, curiously, made it known that the party had suggested other names, which, however, did not find a place on the government’s list.
Meanwhile, in West Bengal, amid nationwide programmes of several parties to mark the success of Operation Sindoor, the Trinamool Congress will hold rallies across the state to honour the Armed Forces on Sunday. Addressing the media on Wednesday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said: “It is our responsibility to offer tribute to our brave soldiers who gave their lives for our nation. These rallies will be held across the state, and we will pay our respects in every block (in rural areas) and ward (in urban areas).”
Indus Water Treaty: The Indus Water Treaty, which survived four wars, decades of cross-border terrorism against India by Pakistan and opposition in India for over 64 years, was finally placed in abeyance on April 23, 2025, a day after 26 men were shot dead by terrorists in a Pahalgam meadow. Water disputes between the two nations date back to Partition, starting with the contentious division of resources across the Indus river system. Here’s the story of the water wars and signing of the IWT.
