India, May 15 -- External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said that the Indus Waters Treaty will continue to remain in abeyance until Pakistan puts an end to cross-border terrorism in a manner that is both credible and irreversible.

Speaking to the media, the Union minister said, "The Indus Waters Treaty is held in abeyance and will continue to be held in abeyance until the cross-border terrorism by Pakistan is credibly and irrevocably stopped... The only thing which remains to be discussed on Kashmir is the vacating of illegally occupied Indian territory in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir; we are open to that discussion."
