Tensions have been on the rise between India and Pakistan after the two nuclear-armed states almost went to war after the Pulwama attack.
India scrapped Article 370 that recognised the special status of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan responded sharply to the move, downgrading diplomatic ties with India and suspending trade with New Delhi.
