NEW DELHI: Pakistan on Thursday announced it was expelling an Indian high commission staff member. This came a day after India expelled a Pakistani official from its high commission in New Delhi for alleged involvement in spying, making it the second such expulsion in a week.
The ministry of external affairs said the Pakistani staffer was asked to leave within 24 hours for doing things that did not match his official duties.
Pakistan responded by expelling an Indian official for similar reasons and also gave him 24 hours to leave the country.
The Indian Chargé d’Affaires in Islamabad was called to Pakistan’s foreign ministry and told that Indian officials should not misuse their diplomatic status.
Tensions between the two countries have been high since a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, killed 26 people.
In response, India carried out targeted strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7 under Operation Sindoor.
Pakistan tried to retaliate by attacking Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10, but India responded firmly, preventing any loss of life and property.
The military actions stopped after both countries’ top army officers spoke on May 10 and agreed to a ceasefire.
