India expels Pakistanis as tensions rise after attack
Western Mail
|April 25, 2025
INDIA and Pakistan cancelled visas for their nationals to each other's countries and Islamabad warned New Delhi for suspending a water-sharing treaty yesterday.
The moves came after India blamed Pakistan for a deadly attack by gunmen that killed 26 people in disputed Kashmir.
India said all visas issued to Pakistani nationals will be revoked with effect from Sunday, adding that all Pakistanis currently in India must leave before their visas expire based on the revised timeline. The country also announced other measures, including cutting the number of diplomatic staff, closing the only functional land border crossing between the countries and suspending a crucial water-sharing agreement.
In retaliation, Pakistan closed its airspace for all Indian-owned or Indian-operated airlines, and suspended all trade with India, including to and from any third country.
