Pakistan’s “unilateral” decision to stop postal mail service with India was in contravention of international norms, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Monday.

“Pakistan's decision is directly in contravention of international postal union norms,” Mr. Prasad told reporters on the sidelines of an event. He holds the Communications, IT and Law and Justice portfolios.

Pakistan “without any prior notice or information has stopped sending postal department's letter to India,” he said.
