India Removes Imran Khan’s Portrait From Cricket Club Following Pulwama Attack

The Indian move came after Pulwama attack that killed 40 Indian soldiers.

Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 17th February, 2019) India continues to show its hostility towards Pakistan as it covered a portrait of Prime Minister Imran Khan from the cricket Club of India (CCI).

The Indian move came after Pulwama attack that killed 40 Indian soldiers.

Former cricketer and Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan's portrait was placed in CCI’s 'All-rounder' restaurant while a photograph of Pakistani team, including the prime minister, was also placed on one of the walls of the club.

Both of the pictures have now been removed.

The Pak-India tensions have again intensified following Pulwama attack in Kashmir.

At least 44 Indian paramilitary soldiers were killed on Thursday in Indian-occupied Kashmir in one the deadliest attacks.

The attack saw explosives packed inside a van rip through buses in a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying some 2,500 members of the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).

Two blue buses carrying around 35 people each bore the brunt of the massive blast, heard miles away, around 20 kilometres from the city of Srinagar on the main highway to Jammu.

Following the attack, India revoked its Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to Pakistan.

Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced the decision while briefing the media in Delhi.

He said that India will take all diplomatic steps to ensure complete isolation of Pakistan in the international community.
