Pakistan has responded to India's actions in Indian-administered Kashmir by expelling Indian diplomats and cancelling visas for Indian nationals, except for Sikh pilgrims. In retaliation, India has suspended a water-sharing treaty, closed the main land border crossing with Pakistan, downgraded diplomatic ties, and withdrawn visas for Pakistanis. Pakistan has also warned that any attempt to stop the supply of water from the Indus River would be considered an "act of war" and responded with full force across all domains.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to identify and punish those responsible, saying he would pursue them "to the ends of the Earth". In response, Pakistan held a national security meeting and suspended key agreements with India, including the Indus Waters treaty, while also downgrading diplomatic ties. The move is seen as largely symbolic, but some fear it may be an opening salvo for potential military action.

India will also withdraw its own advisors from the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. The Integrated Check Post at Attari will be closed immediately, but those who have valid endorsements can return through it before May 1, 2025. Pakistan's support for cross-border terrorism has led to the abeyance of the Indus Waters Treaty with immediate effect. Pakistani nationals are no longer eligible for SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) visas and any issued in the past are cancelled. The overall strength of High Commissions will be reduced to 30 by May 1, 2025, as directed by the Cabinet Committee on Security.
