The MEA rejected Defence Minister Khwaja Asif’s comments linking water security to war, accusing Islamabad of diverting attention from human rights abuses and governance failures in PoK.
MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India has never recognised the establishment of the Court of Arbitration (CoA) and said any proceeding, award, or decision issued by it is null and void.
Regarding Jammu and Kashmir, he reiterated that Pakistan has no right to interfere in India’s internal affairs while carrying out cross-border terrorism against Indian citizens.
