In a decisive diplomatic move, the Government of India has declared a Pakistani official stationed at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi as persona non grata.
The official was expelled for engaging in activities deemed inconsistent with his diplomatic status. He has been directed to leave India within 24 hours.
A demarche was issued to the Charge d’Affaires of the Pakistan High Commission, emphasising the necessity for Pakistani diplomats and officials in India to strictly adhere to their designated privileges and refrain from any misconduct.
While the Indian government has not disclosed specific details of the activities that led to the expulsion, the move highlights India’s firm stance on diplomatic integrity and national security.
It reinforces India’s position that foreign diplomats must respect their host nation’s policies and avoid actions that may compromise bilateral relations.
This development is expected to further strain India-Pakistan diplomatic relations, which have historically been marred by periodic tensions.
As the expelled official prepares to exit India, the diplomatic fraternity watches closely to see how Pakistan will respond to this sudden turn of events.
