LAHORE: India has definitely quit the IPI (Iran-Pakistan-India) gas pipeline deal, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Iran Muhammad Bux Abbasi said on Monday. A private TV channel quoted him as saying that India had exited the tri-nation gas pipeline deal, also known as the ‘Peace Pipeline’, it had earlier planned with Iran and Pakistan. However, Iranian officials said India had not yet officially declared its exit from the IPI gas pipeline project. India had halted negotiations on the project due to tensions with Pakistan and the alleged pressure from the US, although Iran repeatedly encouraged New Delhi to rejoin the process. daily times monitor
