New Delhi : Just after a video surfaced in which an official from Pakistani embassy was harassed in New Delhi, India on Sunday gave Note Verbale to Pakistan through the High Commission in Islamabad, protesting the “intimidation and harassment” of its diplomats in Islamabad.
While Pakistan alleged that their political counsellor had been ‘evicted from a cab and harassed by unknown persons who used abusive language, threatened him and filmed the whole incident with impunity’, India responded with another Note Verbale -13th in the last three months- alleging second secretary at India’s mission was aggressively followed by unidentified people in a car in an intimidating manner while he was going to some food outlet.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that the website of the Indian High Commission in Pakistan is being intermittently blocked by some ‘unknown’ elements, disrupting the normal functioning of the mission.
It is pertinent to mention that foreign ministries of both the countries have been alleging each other of engaging in a systematic harassment of diplomats and their families, from the past three months.
