Pakistan said on Thursday it would suspend a rail service linking it to India. The move comes as relations between the arch-rivals continue to deteriorate over the contested Kashmir region.
“We have decided to shut down Samjhauta Express,” Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed told a news conference on Thursday. The minister was referring to the train running from Lahore, Pakistan to India’s capital New Delhi.
“As long as I am railways minister, Samjhauta Express can’t operate,” Reuters quoted Rasheed as saying.
