OP has so many errors that it may not even be true, could just be another attempt at propaganda
Trade is beneficial to all 3 countries. Pakistan gets transit fees for the same. And this ban is just hogwash. Actual trade between India and Pak is carried out via Dubai and Oman

if last week they hand-over 400 tons of food grains to afghans for free/gratis, do you think this week they would block a few fruit laden afghani trucks?

Pakistan stops Afghan cargo shipments to Waga port

January 27, 2020

KABUL: Pakistan has stopped ground shipments of export cargos from Afghanistan into its port of Waga – a ratcheting up of Pakistan’s transit pressure to have hit Afghan exporters for several times, a government spokesman said Monday.

“Several cargo trucks carrying fruits headed to India have been sent back from Waga port by Pakistani authorities since the past three days,” said Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment spokesperson Jan Agha Navid.

He said that other shipments have been cancelled in the face of the standoff. “This is the season of fruit exports and we need to ramp up our exports. There should be an immediate solution forged immediately,” he said.

Navid said that Afghanistan now exports its fruits specially apple and aside from farmers, exporters and traders will incur losses should the situation remain unresolved.

“The issue of blockade has been referred to government officials but no step has been taken so far,” he said.

Hostilities between Pak Afg should not be ramped up.
It is good cross LOC trade between AJK and OK has resumed. It will help Kashmiris on both sides, but more on the IOK which is good for the oppressed people of IOK.

Works for us. Despite located strategically between ME, Central Asia and Asia's third largest market, Pakistan chose hostility with its neighbors. :tup:

I would rather say that Afghanistan and India chose hostility with Pakistan based on territorial disputes and ancient grudges.

Our relations with the rest of the neighboring nations are fine.
