Modi: All Pakistanis must leave India
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered all Pakistani citizens to leave the country after the attack in Kashmir, AFP reports.
Modi has promised to punish those responsible for the attack, which killed 26 civilians. He has accused Pakistan of backing the attack and supporting "cross-border terrorism".
- India will identify, find and punish all terrorists and those who support them. We will hunt them to the ends of the earth, Modi said on Thursday.
Pakistan, for its part, has said that any threat from India to its sovereignty will be met with "stern responses".
No actor has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Indian police have issued a warrant for two Pakistanis and one Indian citizen. They are linked to the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is designated a terrorist by the UN.
The water threat could be a spark: “An act of war”
The most serious thing in the hostile escalation between the nuclear-armed countries India and Pakistan is that India has terminated a water agreement that has previously survived 65 years of bad relations between the two countries, writes AP.
The agreement concerns the Indus, which is a lifeline in both countries and in Pakistan the river runs through the country's densely populated areas. Pakistan has warned that it will view any attempt by India to restrict the flow of water as “an act of war”.
According to analyst Praveen DonthiI at the International Crisis Group, it is possible that the countries could resort to military action in the coming weeks, writes AFP.
