The Government of India has expelled a Pakistani official posted at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, declaring him ‘persona non grata’ for engaging in actions “not in keeping with his official status” in a sharp diplomatic move amid fraught ties between the two neighbours
The unnamed official has been instructed to leave the country within 24 hours. A formal demarche was issued to the Chargé d’Affaires of the Pakistan High Commission on Tuesday, conveying India’s strong objection to the official’s conduct.
The Ministry of External Affairs did not elaborate on the nature of the alleged activities.
