ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar has termed India’s recent statements as “highly irresponsible” and said that “today Pakistan has given a befitting reply to India’s sinister designs.” “We have reacted doubly strongly to Indian statements, and trade with India is completely suspended.
