Discontinue 'Propaganda Express': Khan
Rajasthan minister for Waqf and Minority Affairs, Amin Khan, today demanded that the Thar Express between India and Pakistan be discontinued.
Describing the train, which was introduced in 2006, as "Propaganda Express," Khan claimed at a gathering in Barmer that it was just a formality and had not achieved its intended purpose.
The train was "useless" for the people on the Indian side and there was no proper facility for those wanting to go to Pakistan as passengers, he alleged.
"There are no easy issuances of visas and no suitable stoppages from Jodhpur to Munabao, which makes the train just a compulsion to run," Khan claimed.
Khan was embroiled in controversy last year when the Union Home Ministry granted special permission to him to board the train at Munabao railway station in Barmer district, while the rules required passengers to come to Bhagat Ki Kothi in Jodhpur.
While this is the last station from where
