Delhi harassment

Published March 20, 2018

THE harassment of Pakistani diplomats in the Indian capital has further sent the bilateral relations on a downward trajectory. No less than 29 cases have been reported and some of them are also available for the world to witness through social media.

This act of harassment by Indian nationals is not only condemnable but is also contrary to the international law, which guarantees certain rights to diplomats. This violation of basic rights of Pakistani diplomats must be condemned and remedied at the earliest so that families of affected people can take a sigh of relief.
