India on Tuesday declared a Pakistani official posted at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi persona non grataordering the diplomat to leave the country within 24 hours for engaging in conduct “not in keeping with his official status.”
The Ministry of External Affairs said a demarche was issued to the chargé d’affaires of the Pakistan High Commission informing them of the decision.
No further details were provided on the nature of the activities, but such expulsions typically involve allegations of espionage or diplomatic violations. Pakistan has not yet publicly responded to the expulsion.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have often spilled over into diplomatic channels, with both countries having expelled each other’s officials in the past amid political or military friction.
