Pak summons Indian envoy

Islamabad, October 9

Pakistan summoned a senior Indian diplomat on Friday to convey concern over cancellation of a cross-border train service, authorities said.

The Delhi-bound Samjhauta Express was called back from the Wagah border on Thursday after Indian authorities informed Pakistani officials of farmers protest on the Indian side of the border. 

The train, which carried 193 Pakistani and Indian nationals, will depart for Delhi on Monday, said a Pakistan Railways spokesman. “Acting Deputy High Commissioner of India Raghuram was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express concern over the cancellation of operation of Samjhauta Express," the foreign ministry said in a statement. — IANS
