New Delhi, Mar 15 Hours after Pakistan decided to CALL back to its envoy to India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday clarified that the Pakistan High Commissioner Sohail Mahmood has been called for "consultation" just, and it was a routine procedure.
"Whenever there is any issue to be examined, any foreign ambassador of that nation is called for consultation. It isn't a recall," MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said when queried on the issue at a weekly press briefing.
The development has taken place after missions of both the countries complained of alleged harassment of its diplomats in the two nations.
Kumar said the issue of alleged harassment of Indian diplomats has been raised and taken up with the experts in Islamabad.
"We won't give details of the issue which we have taken up with the Pakistan government. This is something which should be taken up through established diplomatic channels and not published in media. We anticipate that them will investigate and resolve those issues as soon as possible," the representative said.
Kumar also underscored that the safety of diplomatic missions and consular offices in both India and Pakistan were of most extreme need and guaranteed that the missions would work ordinarily with no impediments or badgering with regards to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961.
The already souring ties between India and Pakistan have taken a sharp plunge ever since ceasefire violations by Pakistani powers have expanded along the Line of Control (LoC) and terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir have seen a rise in the last few months.
