Pakistan has suspended its main train service to India and banned Indian films as it kept up the diplomatic pressure on New Delhi for revoking the special status of Indian-administered Kashmir.
“No Indian cinema will be screened in any Pakistani cinema. Drama, films and Indian content of this kind will be completely banned in Pakistan,” Firdous Ashiq Awan, an adviser to Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, said in a tweet on Thursday.
The statement came as Minister of Railways Sheikh Rasheed announced the government’s decision “to shut down Samjhauta Express”, referring to the train running to India’s capital, New Delhi, from the Pakistani city of Lahore.
On Monday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist-led government withdrew the Muslim-majority state’s right to frame its own laws and allowed people from outside the region to buy property there.
