IANS, New Delhi :
India has expressed its displeasure at Pakistan’s unilateral decision to disallow President Ram Nath Kovind’s plane over its airspace.
Responding to a query on denial of overflight clearance to a VVIP special flight by Pakistan, Raveesh Kumar, spokesperson for Ministry of External Affair, said, “We regret the decision of the government of Pakistan to deny overflight clearance for the VVIP special flight which is otherwise granted routinely by any other country. We call

upon Pakistan to recognize the futility of such unilateral actions”.
Pakistan on Saturday rejected a request made by New Delhi to let the airplane of Indian President Ram Nath Kovind fly over its airspace. Islamabad turned down the request based on the “alarming human rights situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK)”, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
