India has taken a significant diplomatic step by declaring a second official from the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi as persona non grata. The diplomat has been ordered to exit the country within 24 hours, marking the second expulsion within just eight days amid escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries.
The expelled diplomat is accused of participating in activities deemed incompatible with their diplomatic status. This action comes in the wake of an espionage investigation, which recently led to the arrest of a woman travel vlogger and others suspected of spying for Pakistan. The Indian government has intensified its efforts to safeguard national security, particularly following Operation Sindoor, the military response to a terror attack in Pahalgam that caused 26 casualties.
Key Points of the Situation
- Second Pakistani diplomat expelled from India within eight days.
- Expelled official accused of espionage-related activities.
- Operation Sindoor heightened India’s security vigilance.
- Pakistan and India trade accusations amidst worsening relations.
Diplomatic sources confirm that these expulsions indicate a deterioration in India-Pakistan relations. Despite this, India asserts that such measures are vital to protect its sovereignty. Conversely, Pakistan has leveled accusations against India, including allegations linked to a suicide bombing on a school bus in Balochistan’s Khuzdar city, which New Delhi categorically denies.
The current diplomatic strain underscores the fragile and volatile nature of India-Pakistan relations, with ongoing retaliatory actions and security concerns taking center stage. Attempts to resolve the discord continue, though the atmosphere in New Delhi remains tense.
