It is quite interesting to see the Indian water officials and experts sit across the table with their Pakistani counterparts to discuss the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) which Modi, incensed over Uri attack, had threatened to scrap. The meeting between the water commissioners and other officials was due in September last year, but India cancelled the talks following the attack on the Indian military camp in Uri in held Kashmir, blaming it on Pakistan-based insurgents which Islamabad vehemently denied.
