The Story in Brief
President Droupadi Murmu, in her Independence Day eve address, called the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty a decisive step against a nation that harbours terrorists. She also hailed Operation Sindoor, saying it sent a clear message that terrorists will face consequences wherever they hide. The President praised India's armed forces for their precision in the operation, which marked one year since its launch on May 7.
On domestic issues, Murmu said making India Naxal-free is a major achievement and highlighted all-inclusive development in affected regions. She referred to India's young population, 65 per cent below 35 years, as the nation's most valuable asset and the architects of its future. The remarks came amid protests over the NEET-UG exam leak and recruitment test irregularities in Jharkhand.
The Indian Opinion
The President's address frames Operation Sindoor and the Indus treaty suspension as strong national-security steps. Yet the narrative that these are unilateral victories skips the longstanding water-sharing disputes and Pakistan's reciprocal claims. The real test will be whether farmers in Punjab and Sindh see actual water gains or if the suspension becomes another diplomatic stalemate. The question is: who verifies the data on water flows now?
