India, too, prefers a bilateral resolution.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said last month there is no reason why technical design parameters on which Pakistan has raised objections can’t be sorted out by experts from both sides on projects like Kishenganga, as reported.

India also believes that these consultations should be given adequate time, Swarup had said.

However, Dawn reported that India’s request for more time alarmed Pakistan.
“Islamabad argued that India used the same strategy on previous occasions, completing a project during the dispute and then insisting that since the project was already complete, it could not be modified,” Dawn said.
Last month, Pakistan said it would not accept any modifications or changes in the Treaty, as reported. Pakistan’s refusal came after India strongly pitched for a bilateral redressal of differences with it while implementing the 56-year-old accord.
