The video appears to be shot at a local courier service in India. “To Hania Aamir, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan, from India,” read a note on the parcel seen in the video. Inside the box are over a dozen bottles of drinking water.
The man who shot the video is heard saying, “This boy brought a parcel today, and check who it is for. It’s for Hania Aamir. And see what’s inside – water bottles.”
The Indus treaty was signed in 1960 and had lived through three wars, 1965, 1971, and 1999. India suspended the treaty after terror links to Pakistan emerged in the massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, citing “sustained cross-border terrorism”.
The move sparked a meme fest on social media. Here are some of them:
