India said that it has banned the importation of originated goods or in transit through Pakistan as diplomatic tensions between the two nations with nuclear weapons exploded following a deadly attack against tourists in occupied Kashmir.
The April 22 attack in Pahalgam killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in one of the most mortal assaults since 2000. India has implied cross -border links without evidence, while Pakistan has rejected the claim and has requested a neutral investigation.
Since then, the tensions have shot themselves, with Pakistan reinforcing their forces and the first principal of India that grants “operational freedom” to the military. As Pakistan, in the early hours of April 30, he said he was waiting for an Indian incursion within 24-36 hours, diplomatic channels have committed to avoid conflicts.
The General Directorate of Foreign Trade of India (DGFT), in a notification, said the prohibition will immediately enter into force.
“This restriction is imposed in the interest of national security and public policies,” he said.
In response to the series of aggressive measures of India against the country following the attack of Pahalgam, Pakistan announced retaliation measures that have included stop all border trade, close their airspace to Indian carriers and expel Indian diplomats.
However, Pakistan on May 1 allowed 150 stranded Afghan trucks that transport products for India to cross the border with Wagah, relieving a one -week bottleneck, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.
Trade between the two nations has decreased in recent years.
In August 2019, Pakistan had already formally reduced his commercial relations with India at the level of Israel, with which Islamabad has no commercial link, in reaction to New Delhi’s decision to revoke article 370 of its Constitution that granted Kashmir occupied a special status.
