Consider the following statements about Indo- Pakistan bilateral relationship. Which of the following statement is incorrect?
The correct option is B Pakistan has awarded India Most Favored Nation (MFN) status in 2014.
India had accorded MFN status to Pakistan in 1996. It was agreed that Pakistan would transition fully to MFN (non-discriminatory) status for India by December 2012. Pakistan has not been able to honour its commitments of removing trade restrictions on the land route and granting MFN status to India. Grant of the MFN status to India would help in boosting trade between the two countries. India granted the MFN status to Pakistan way back in 1996.
Pakistan has instead proposed to provide Non-Discriminatory Market Access (NDMA) to India. Pakistan, however, substituted in March 2012 a 'positive list' of a little more than 1950 lines, permitted for import from India, by a 'Negative List' of 1209 lines which cannot be imported from India. Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari was conceived on April 13, 2012. The Attari ICP represents vastly improved infrastructure to facilitate trade and travel.
