| India withholding blasts victims list: Pak | | | ISLAMABAD:
India has failed to provide a list of mainly Pakistani passengers who died in the bomb attack on the Samjhauta Express five days ago, Pakistan's Railway Minister Sheikh Rashid told the parliament in Islamabad on Friday.
Addressing the National Assembly lower house, the minister protested the omission by Indian authorities investigating the carnage.
"If India had to face the same consequences, they would have raised a hue and cry," Rashid said, the Online news agency of Pakistan reported.
He said India had not shared any information with Pakistan regarding its probe into the incident, which occurred around midnight last Sunday.
Sixty-eight passengers died and dozens were injured after improvised incendiary bombs gutted two coaches of the train that left New Delhi for the border with Pakistan carrying more than 600 passengers.
The first 12 bodies of Pakistani victims were on Thursday repatriated by road for burial and seven injured passengers were flown home from Delhi aboard a Pakistani Air Force plane.
Indian police made seven arrests in connection with the attack, which the two countries have denounced as an attempt to disrupt the ongoing peace process
