India's Stand Against Pakistan: Economic and Strategic Measures

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent address to the nation highlighted India's firm stance against terrorism, emphasizing that 'Terror and talks cannot go together... Terror and trade cannot go together.' This message underscores India's continued punitive economic actions against Pakistan, aimed at further straining its already fragile economy.

Indus Waters Treaty Suspension

The suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) marks a significant blow to Pakistan, affecting 80% of its farmland and 93% of its total water use. This move threatens catastrophic agricultural losses and could trigger a broader fiscal crisis in Pakistan's struggling economy.

Direct & Indirect Trade Ban Continues

India's comprehensive ban on imports from Pakistan, including indirect trade through third countries, is set to severely impact Pakistan's exports. With goods worth $500 million previously entering India now blocked, Pakistan's economy faces further strain.

Shipping & Parcel Services Ban Still in Place

Restrictions on Pakistani-flagged vessels and the halt of mail and parcel exchanges between the two countries continue to disrupt trade and communication, further isolating Pakistan economically.
