An 11-member Pakistani Army delegation arrived in Kathmandu following the Pahalgam terror attack, claimed Nepali Member of Parliament Amresh Kumar Singh on Tuesday.
During a House of Representatives meeting on Tuesday, Singh said, "There is tension between India and Pakistan after the attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam. War can break out at any time. In such a situation, the Nepal government has invited an 11-member delegation of the Pakistani army...What message does the Government of Nepal trying to send out?"
Singh also shared the flight details of the Pakistani delegation. "That Pakistani Army delegation came on Qatar Airways flight number 646... under the leadership of Mansur Ansari" Singh said.
He added, "Can we take anyone's side? The timing is not right. I don't mean that Pakistanis should not come but it is the time when a Nepali citizen also was killed in that terror attack."
The Nepal Army has not yet commented on the issue.
Meanwhile, Pakistan faced serious questioning at the United Nations Security Council. Members expressed strong concerns during an informal closed-door meeting on Monday.
The UN did not issue a statement following the "closed consultations" requested by Pakistan. Pakistan, a non-permanent member of the Council, currently holds the presidency for the month of May, which is currently held by Greece.
Sources told ANI that Security Council members questioned Pakistan about the attack. They rejected Pakistan's "false flag" narrative and asked if Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terror organisation with deep ties to Pakistan, could have been involved in the attack.
Dawn News, a Pakistan-based news outlet, reported that the water flow in the Chenab River, measured at Marala head works, dropped from 35,000 cusecs on Sunday to about 3,100 cusecs on Monday morning. The Chenab is critical to Pakistan’s irrigation system, with canals like UCC and BRB providing water to much of Punjab’s agricultural land.
India paused the Indus Water Treaty after the Pahalgam attack, and the resulting water shortage is seen as a likely consequence of this decision.
