PM Modi chairs Indus Water Treaty review meeting
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and Water Resources Secretary Shashi Shekhar, among others, were present at the meeting, which took place amid a heightened tension between India and Pakistan following the Uri terror attack.
A demand has been raised from some quarters to scrap the 56-year-old treaty to put pressure on Pakistan for aiding terrorism against India.
The treaty envisages sharing of water of Beas, Ravi, Sutlej, Indus, Chenab and Jhelum rivers between the two countries.
Complaining that not enough water was being received from India, Pakistan went to the international arbitration on two occasions.
