Pakistan's blame game continues, now accuses India for harassing its diplomats

Islamabad, March 12: Pakistan has accused India of harassing the Islamic nation's diplomats and their families in Delhi. It further claimed that it would call them back if the intimidation didn't stop.

According to Pakistani Newspaper Dawn “It is becoming difficult for the Pakistani diplomats posted in India to keep their families with them due to increase in harassment incidents.”

The report said diplomatic vehicles were being stopped on different pretexts and searched. Members of diplomatic staff are also abused in public and a number of accidents of vehicles have happened.

Earlier, Ministry of External Affairs said "Indian diplomats in Islamabad have been facing tremendous harassment for long, particularly in the last year" but rather than flagging in the media, Indian diplomats chose to tackle the matter with "quiet and persistent diplomacy".

On many instances even power supply was snapped, laptops stolen, homes broken into of Indian officials said the MEA, and despite assurances of the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, there hasn't been much relief.

"Harassment is the new normal for Indian High Commission personnel in Islamabad," said the MEA.
