On Friday, India firmly rejected the decision of the Permanent Arbitration Court (PCA) in The Hague on two hydroelectric projects – Kishangang and Ratle – located in Jammu and Kashmir.
In its statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) dismissed this decision as “so -called additional prices”, which stated that India had never accepted the framework under which this arbitration procedure was carried out.
MEA noted that India did not recognize the jurisdiction of the court in this matter, in particular as regards the mechanisms of dispute resolution concerning Pakistan under the Indus Waters contract.
In its decision, the court of arbitration stated that India’s decision in April to maintain the Indus waters “does not restrict” its competence before the dispute and that its decision is binding for parties.
“This latest charade at Pakistan is another desperate attempt to escape responsibility for its role as a global epicenter of terrorism,” Mea said.

“Pakistani resorts to this invented arbitration mechanism is in line with its ten -year model of fraud and manipulation of international forums,” he said in a statement.
India has never recognized the proceedings with the permanent arbitration court after Pakistan raised objections to certain design elements of both projects under the provisions of the Indus Waters contract.

“Today, an illegal arbitration court, allegedly established under Indus Waters, a contract of 1960, although in its violation, published what it characterizes as a” additional price “for its competence concerning Kishengang and hydroelectric projects at Jammu and Kashmir.
“India has never recognized the existence of the right of this so -called arbitration court,” he said.
Mea said that the attitude of India is all the time that the constitution of this so -called arbitration body is itself a serious violation of the Indus Waters contract and subsequently any proceedings before this forum and any valuation or decisions that adopted are also illegal.
The day after a terrorist attack on April 22, Pahalgam took India a number of repressive measures against Pakistan, which included the introduction of Indus Waters from 1960 to “Aneayance”.
“After the terrorist attack of Pahalgam, India has in exercising his rights as a sovereign nation under international law to observe the Indus Waters contract until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably contains its support for cross -border terrorism,” Mea said.

“Until the contract is in carrying, India is no longer obliged to fulfill any of its obligations under the contract,” he said.
“No arbitration court, much less this illegally created arbitrary body, which does not exist in the eye of the right, does not have to explore the legality of Indian actions in the exercise of his rights as a monarch,” she added.
This latest charade at the Pakistani command is another desperate attempt to escape from responsibility for its role as a global epicenter of terrorism.
India has never recognized the existence of the right of this so -called arbitration court.
India therefore categorically rejects this so -called additional award because it rejected all the previous statements of this body, she said.
