Pakistan on Wednesday downgraded its diplomatic relations with India. The move comes after India revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. It also expelled Indian high commissioner. Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said, "Our ambassadors will no longer be in New Delhi and their counterparts here will also be sent back." India on Monday revoked Article 370 of the Constitution to withdraw the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories- Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
