Jaiswal said India would keep Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, in abeyance until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjured support for cross-border terrorism. In this context, he added that factors such as climate change, demographic shifts and technological changes had created a new reality on the ground as well. He also reiterated India's longstanding position that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between New Delhi and Islamabad and said there was no change in this. "As you are aware, the outstanding matter is the vacation of Indian territory illegally occupied by Pakistan," Jaiswal said, days after the US President's renewed offer to mediate on the Kashmir issue.

Later in the evening, India declared an official working at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi "persona non grata" for "indulging in activities not in keeping with his official status in India". In a press statement, the MEA said that the official had been asked to leave India within 24 hours.
