In response to a query regarding denial of overflight clearance for a VVIP special flight by Pakistan, the Official Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said :
"We regret the decision of the Government of Pakistan to deny overflight clearance for the VVIP special flight for a second time in two weeks, which is otherwise granted routinely by any normal country. Pakistan should reflect upon its decision to deviate from
well established international practice, as well as reconsider its old habit of misrepresenting the reasons for taking unilateral action."
