India on Tuesday decalred a Pakistani official, working at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, persona non grata for indulging in activities not in keeping with his official status in India.
The official has been asked to leave India within 24 hours. A formal demarche conveying this decision was issued to the Charge d’Affaires of the Pakistan High Commission.
"The Government of India has declared a Pakistani official, working at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, persona non grata for indulging in activities not in keeping with his official status in India. The official has been asked to leave India within 24 hours. Charge d’ Affaires, Pakistan High Commission, was issued a demarche to this effect today," read a press note issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.
The decision comes at a time of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, following days of cross-border strikes triggered by India’s launch of Operation Sindoor. The operation targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan as a response to the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives — most of them tourists, including one Nepalese national.
