Pakistan mulls cutting mission staff in New Delhi


ISLAMABAD: An Indian newspaper has claimed that Pakistan foreign office had advised PM Nawaz Sharif to reduce its diplomatic staff in New Delhi after threats to them and violation of ceasefire by Indian forces at Line of Control (LoC). The newspaper claimed that Pakistan was considering to cut its diplomatic staff after Indian authorities failed to provide proper security to diplomatic missions. Pakistan on Monday summoned Indian High Commissioner to foreign office and expressed its reservations over violation of ceasefire by India’s security forces. Indian forces opened unprovoked fire on Pakistani positions three times in a day on Monday.
