Pak calls back its envoy to India

Dr. Muhammad Faisal, the spokesperson of Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said Pakistan High Commissioner to India Sohail Mahmood would be visiting Islamabad shortly for consultations on matters relating to Pakistan-India relations.

The development comes after the Pakistan High Commission complained on Saturday that its diplomats were being subjected to different kinds of harassment in New Delhi.

India too has alleged that several Indian mission staffers in Islamabad have been severely 'harassed and intimidated'.
