The decision came hours after India summoned Pakistan’s top envoy and lodged strong protest over the killing of 42 CRPF soldiers in the attack by the Jaish-e-Muhammed.

The terror attack by JeM left 42 CRPF soldiers dead and five others critically wounded. The bus was part of a convoy of 78 vehicles CRPF travelling from Jammu to Srinagar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in statement, said “the blood of the people is boiling and forces behind the act of terrorism will be definitely be punished.”
