  • Six Indian journalists who were in Islamabad to cover the SAARC ministerial meeting were denied access to the event by Pakistani officials.

    Rallies will be taken out in several cities including Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Faisalabad and Muzaffarabad.

    He has also asked Nawaz Sharif to recall its ambassador and "suspend trade and diplomatic ties" with India.
