'It all depends on Pak. decision'

New Delhi Aug. 21. India today indicated that it was not keen on the resumption of the Samjhauta Express unless Pakistan took decisions on the resumption of overflights and additional bus services between Lahore and Delhi.

Pakistan was yet to positively respond to its offer for resumption of overflights and the introduction of additional buses for the Delhi-Lahore travel, the Foreign Secretary, Kanwal Sibal, told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar here.

"We do not have any problem with regard to the resumption of the Samjhauta rail link. But, given Pakistan's attitude towards overflights and the bus service, how can we proceed on the rail link?" Mr. Sibal asked. — PTI
