Kashmir attack: Why Pakistan's threat to suspend Simla Agreement matters
Briefly

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated significantly following an attack in Kashmir, resulting in tragic casualties. In response, India suspended its participation in the Indus Waters Treaty and initiated stringent measures against Pakistan, including border closures and trade suspensions. Pakistan retaliated with similar actions and threatened to withdraw from the Simla Agreement, a pivotal 1972 treaty that governs bilateral relations and peaceful conflict resolution. This potential withdrawal raises concerns about the future stability of diplomatic safeguards crucial for both nations' interactions.
Analysts express concern that a Pakistani exit from the Simla Agreement could undermine vital diplomatic frameworks that have historically regulated India-Pakistan relations.
The recent escalation between India and Pakistan has prompted both nations to impose reciprocal measures, heightening fears of a broader conflict in the region.
