Pak's economy, security to have implications due to India, says think tank

Pakistan's external affairs would remain challenging throughout 2020, having serious implications on economy and security, including tense relations with India, a Pakistani think-tank said on Sunday.

Article 370: Pak suspends Delhi-Lahore bus service, two cross-border trains

Pakistan has suspended the Lahore-Delhi friendship bus service, after suspending two cross-border trains, in the wake of India's decision revoking Jammu and Kashmir's special status and bifurcating the state into two Union Territories, a senior Pakistani minister has said. The bus service was first started in February 1999 but suspended after the 2001 Parliament attack. It was restarted in July 2003. The move is in line with the decisions taken during a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) held on Wednesday, Pakistan Minister for Communications and Postal Services Murad Saeed said. "In line with the decisions of NSC Pak-India bus service is suspended," Saeed tweeted on Friday. The Lahore-Delhi bus service is operated from Ambedkar Stadium terminal near Delhi Gate.
