New Delhi: India on Thursday night took strong exception to the World Bank’s “inexplicable” decision to set up a Court of Arbitration and appoint a Neutral Expert to go into Pakistan’s complaint against it over Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir.
Surprised at the World Bank’s decision to appoint a Neutral Expert, as sought by New Delhi and at the same time establish a Court of Arbitration as wanted by Pakistan, India said proceeding with both the steps simultaneously was “legally untenable”.
“India cannot be party to actions which are not in accordance with the Treaty,” MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said. (PTI)
