‘India to ensure complete isolation of Pakistan’

India will take all possible diplomatic steps to ensure the "complete isolation" of Pakistan in response to an attack by an Islamist militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) that killed 44 Indian paramilitary police in Kashmir on Thursday, India's Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today.

This would include India removing most favoured nation privileges given to Pakistan under World Trade Organisation rules, he said.

Pakistan-based JeM claimed responsibility for a car bomb that killed the 44 police personnel in one of the deadliest attacks ever in the India-controlled Kashmir region.
