External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Wednesday criticised the Congress, saying they are "uncomfortable with history," while speaking about India's decision to put the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Jaishankar highlighted Congress’s "mistakes" in the Rajya Sabha regarding the handling of the treaty while emphasising how essential the agreement was.
"The Indus Water
Treaty in many ways is a very unique agreement. I cannot think of any agreement in the world where a country has allowed its major rivers to flow to the next country without having rights on that river," he said. He added,
"To recall the history of this event... Yesterday, I heard some people are uncomfortable with history. They prefer that historical things be forgotten. Maybe it does not suit them, they only like to recall some things."
