In wake of the dastardly terror attack on the CRPF personnel in Pulwama, English News Channel WION has withdrawn the invitation sent to the speakers from Pakistan who were to participate in its Global Summit: South Asian Edition scheduled to take place in Dubai on February 20. In the official statement of WION posted by Zee News, Zee Business and WION Editor-in-Chief Sudhir Chaudhary, it condemned the heinous terrorist act and called any deliberation on collective prosperity with Pakistan as untenable.
