Pahalgam attack: India punishes Pak with diplomatic blitz, the real knockout blow is coming soon

Published on Apr 24, 2025 02:22 pm IST

India unveiled a raft of punitive diplomatic measures against Pakistan on Wednesday, suspending the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, downgrading bilateral ties, and shutting down the Attari checkpost, as it hit back at Islamabad over the brazen terror attack near Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists. New Delhi’s retaliatory measures were decided at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Hindustan Times’ Executive Editor Shishir Gupta reveals that the diplomatic blitz is only the first of a host of actions that the Modi government is planning to punish Pakistan. But what are the steps that India could take in the days to come? Is military action against Pakistan-based terrorists on the cards? Watch this episode of Point Blank for all the details.
