India: Pakistan had ‘direct hand’ in deadly convoy strike
|Srinagar, India (CNN)India said there was “incontrovertible evidence” that Pakistan had a “direct hand” in a bomb attack on a convoy that killed 37 paramilitary soldiers in Indian-administered Kashmir.
After a Cabinet Committee on Security meeting on Friday, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in a statement that India would initiate “all possible diplomatic steps” to “ensure the complete isolation from the international community of Pakistan, of which incontrovertible evidence is available of having a direct hand in this gruesome terrorist incident.”
Jaitley added that India would downgrade diplomatic relations by withdrawing its “most favored nation status” to Pakistan — a largely symbolic title.
