Pakistan snubs India over bulletproof car at SAARC summit

There was no Ambassador in the cars made avialable by Nepal to its guests. Also India was brought into light probably to sooth hurt ego by by Express tribune which was unnecessary TBH because the cars were offered by Nepal to the visiting dignitory and how they got the cars should have been of no concern to anyone.

India is just supplying the cars. I am sure Nepal security agencies will thoroughly inspect them and then only hand it over to the guests. India is unnecessary dragged into this ego trip by the Pakistani newspaper otherwise India doesn't care whether NS travels in 7 series or bailgaadi.. :D

why is india supplying cars for the event? Nepal doesnt import cars on its own from outside?
 
Nepal asked for it because they did not had enough time to buy new bulletproof BMW's and Mercs.

this meeting is planned for some time no? or are Nepalese organized, timely, efficient event planners like the rest of the sub-continent :laugh:
 
KATHMANDU: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has rejected the use of a bulletproof car provided by rival India for next week’s summit of South Asian leaders in Kathmandu, a Nepalese official said Monday.
Sharif “will be bringing his own car… all other vehicles for (visiting) heads of countries have come from India”, said foreign ministry spokesperson Khaga Nath Adhikari.

Adhikari denied the move was a snub specifically targeted at India, whose tense ties with Pakistan have worsened since October over some of the worst cross-border firing in years.
“It’s not that they have refused to use an Indian car… when the US president travels, he also brings his own car, it’s not an issue,” he told AFP.

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit will see the leaders of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Nepal, India and Pakistan meet in Kathmandu on November 26 and 27.
Recent exchanges of fire across the de facto border between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, which both countries administer in part but claim in full, have killed at least 20 civilians and forced thousands to flee their homes.
The nuclear-armed neighbours, who have fought two wars over Muslim-majority Kashmir, have traded blame for the upsurge in firing and shelling which started on October 6.

India called off peace talks in August after Pakistan first consulted Kashmiri separatists, a move some saw as a sign of a tougher stance by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new right-wing government.


Pakistan snubs India over bulletproof car at SAARC summit – The Express Tribune

Pakistanis tend to walk with a chip on their shoulders and to top it off its not like they are too deserving of it. I recall India offering to help in their J&K floods some years back (offering more than their higher-than-himalaya friend China but they refused and asked to have it directed thru UN!!!!!). Kind of like you throw a life line to a drowning man and in his (un)deserved conceit refuses to catch it unless thrown by his pals who are nowhere around to be seen

Nepal have only 2 Bulletproof cars and that is used by Nepal President and King I believe. That is why they asked India to supply care for SAARC leaders. They don't need that many Bulletproof car as I guess.
