Pakistan on Wednesday decided to downgrade diplomatic relations with India and suspend bilateral trade after New Delhi revoked the special status of Jammu & Kashmir.
The decision was taken at a crucial meeting of the National Security Committee in Islamabad chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan and attended by top civil and military leadership, said a statement issued by the PM’s Office.
The Indian government on Monday abolished Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to J&K and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories -- Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh.
The NSC decided to review "bilateral arrangements" with India while taking the matter to the United Nations, including the Security Council, the statement said.
