"Pak Insecurity": MEA Slams Islamabad's Remarks On India-Afghan Ties; Reiterates IWT Stand

In a comprehensive press briefing in New Delhi, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal delivered a sharp rebuttal to Pakistan. Dismissing Islamabad’s recent criticism regarding India's growing ties with Afghanistan, Jaiswal stated the comments reflect Pakistan's "insecurity and frustration" over India's positive engagement with Kabul. Reaffirming India's firm stance on regional security, he clarified that the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended and held in abeyance until Pakistan credibly abjures cross-border terrorism. On global multilateral forums, the spokesperson confirmed that invitations and active preparations for the upcoming BRICS summit are currently underway.
