Indian top diplomat Ahluwalia returns to Islamabad to perform as acting HC

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Indian Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan Gaurav Ahluwalia returned to Islamabad on Wednesday to perform as acting High Commissioner after Pakistan ordered Indian bureaucrat Ajay Bisaria to leave the country and called back Pakistan Deputy High Commissioner from India. Ahluwalia, who earlier proceeded to his official leaves, was directed by Indian government to return to his duties as his leaves were cancelled on emergency grounds. Pakistan announced to not send Pakistan high commissioner-designate to India. Earlier, Pakistan summoned the Indian deputy high commissioner to Foreign Office and informed him about the decision to expel Indian High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria from the country. “It is very obvious that our ambassador wouldn’t be in Delhi, and obviously the man who is here will also leave,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in an interview with a private TV channel. The decision was made during a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC). According to the declaration, the National Security Committee discussed situation arising out of unilateral and illegal actions by the Indian government, situation inside Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and along LOC.
