Seven days after the cruel terrorist attack in Pahgam, who killed 26 citizens, there has been a dramatic and visible change in India’s diplomatic currency towards Pakistan. In the days after the attack, India launched a series of widespread measures – from suspension of major treaties to expel diplomats – who have not only frozen bilateral relations, but have also forced Pakistan to internationally in an internationally defensive position.
The result is tangible: the treaties are in Abhay, air routes have been disrupted, and diplomatic missions have become thinner to their lowest level in years.
India’s diplomatic aggressive after the Pahgam attack
The Pahalgam terror attack initially claimed responsibility from the resistance front (TRF), it was believed that it served as a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba. However, after days, TRF withdrew its claim, alleging that its communication channels were compromised through a cyber infiltration. Meanwhile, Indian intelligence agencies said that the attack had clear relations for the handlers based on the Line of Control (LOC). Conflicting statements of TRF rarely raised New Delhi’s reaction, the authorities decisively proceeded on several fronts against the Pakistan-supported terrorist network described as a terrorist network.
In a rapid growth, India declared all Pakistani defense, Navy and aerial advisors posted in the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. Personality non -grataCiting inconsistent activities with diplomatic norms. Islamabad was formally informed, and the authorities were given a week to leave the country. Along with this, India dowry diplomatic relations for effectively essential bronchular tasks along with assistant employees from Indian High Commission in Islamabad as well as assistant employees, along with assistant employees, with assistant employees, effectively required -a clear disruption of general diplomatic engagement.
Crack on terrorist infrastructure
Along with its diplomatic aggressive, India intensified its land crack against the terrorist network. In a strong sign of zero tolerance, the Jammu and Kashmir administration demolished the qualities related to active terrorists associated with Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba and its offshoot. The houses of at least seven terrorists were blown up or blown into Pulwama, Shopian, Anantnag, Kulgam and Kupwara districts of South Kashmir. Among them, Farooq was the residence of Ahmed Tadwa, who was currently a Lashkar operative located in Pakistan, which was demolished using home explosives in Kupwara. Officials said the demolition was part of a comprehensive strategy to eliminate the infrastructure that maintains terrorism across the border and send a clear message that the facilities of terror would have to face direct consequences.
The visa is canceled, the border is closed because India tightens pressure
On the Economic and Humanitarian Front, India canceled all visas issued to Pakistani citizens and stopped the processing of new applications. The Pakistani citizens present in India – including students, artists and traders – were asked to leave within 48 hours.
Officials said 509 Pakistani citizens, including nine diplomats and officials, left India in just three days through the Attari-Waga border point, as the exit deadline for 12 categories of neighboring nation’s short-term visa holders ended on Sunday. Along with this, 745 Indians, including 14 diplomats and officials, returned from Pakistan from across the international border in Punjab.
Fast and large-scale exit outlined the depth of breaking into bilateral relations and left Pakistan’s diplomatically isolated Pakistan on Indian soil.
Perhaps the longest steps came with India’s decision to keep the 1960 Indus Water Treaty in Ebence, which suspends its obligations under the landmark agreement. Officials said the step was to send a blunt message: Trust-based cooperation could not continue while terror networks work with impurities.
By suspending the tact that escapes the wars, India clarified that the rules of engagement had changed fundamentally.
The release of water in Jhelum River in Pakistan occupied Kashmir
In another growth, reports stated that India released a significant amount of water in the Jhelum River without any prior notice, triggering chaos in Pakistan -occupied Kashmir (POK). According to Pakistani officials quoted by local media, sudden bounce flooded areas such as Kohla, Dulai, and Chatar class, drowning of roads, submerging houses and forcing the residents to flee.
Officials in POK claimed that the flow of Jhelum River had increased rapidly to about 35,000 cusecs with a warning in several districts. Some Pakistani commentators accused India of using water as “weapons” in diplomatic deadlock, although New Delhi has not officially commented on the release of water.
The time coming immediately after the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty of India only speculate that the step was deliberately taken, part of a calibrated pressure campaign after the Pahalgam attack.
Curb Pakistan’s media and online effects
New Delhi also progressed rapidly to combat Pakistani influence operations within India’s information ecosystem. Orders were issued to ban many Pakistan-based news channels and Youtube accounts, known for promoting anti-India stories, including figures such as Shoaib Akhtar and outlets. Don News, Eri NewsAnd Live tvThe ban is part of a comprehensive effort to prevent Pakistan from armed information to reduce India’s internal stability.
India’s global outreach to put pressure on Pakistan
On the diplomatic front, India launched a coordinated outreach campaign to rally international opinion. The Foreign Secretary informed the ambassadors of major powers including the United States, Russia, France, United Kingdom and China – to call for Pahgam terror attacks and coordinated pressure on Islamabad on the alleged relations of Pakistan. This outreach has helped India integrate diplomatic support, squeezing Pakistan on a global stage.
Pakistan’s response: refusal and copying moves
While India mounted a decisive and multi-trend diplomatic aggressive, Pakistan’s response was largely reactive and estimated. Islamabad, in an familiar pattern, clearly denied any participation in the attack, dismissed India’s claims as “baseless” and called for an international inquiry – a stance was widely seen as an attempt to defreate the responsibility.
Unable to frame an original response, Pakistan reflected only India’s steps. In a cheating step, it expelled Indian diplomats, suspended bilateral trade – although volumes were negligible – and parts of the 1972 Shimla Agreement were suspended, despite the terms of their terms in decades violated in decades. Islamabad also shut down its airspace for Indian flights, causing major disruption but failed to transfer the diplomatic story to its favor. Pakistan’s anti -retraction functions only underlined its diplomatic isolation and strategic weakness.
Global reactions
The international community has seen the diplomatic deadlock of India-Pakistan with increasing concern. The United States strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack, but called both sides to exercise restraint. China issued a protected statement, requesting de-escation, as well as repeating its support for Pakistan’s sovereignty-China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) reflecting the strategic interests of Beijing tied to the Economic Corridor (CPEC).
In contrast, Israel offered uneven support to India, the Israeli Foreign Minister condemned the Pahalgam attack, which is “heinous work of terror” and confirming that Israel is “united with India in the fight against terrorism.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also announced that Israel has “standing shoulder to shoulder with India”, underlining the anti-terrorism partnership between the two countries.
A week later: India-Pakistan belongs to a historical low
Seven days after the terrorist attack in Pahgam, the result is the result. Diplomatic missions have been slipped, treaties have been suspended, airspace closed, across the border movement, and the ceasefire violations with the line of control have intensified the night. Pakistan finds itself a diplomatic corner with limited international sympathy for its position and asks the growing question about its commitment about the commitment behind the terrorist screen.
Consular-level contacts with communication channels and both sides were compressed to digging, showing no signs of melting diplomatic freeze between India and Pakistan. India’s works have not only imposed immediate costs on Pakistan, but have fundamentally replaced the future bilateral engagement structure.
