New Delhi, March 20 (TNS): India on Tuesday issued yet another diplomatic note to Pakistan protesting continuing alleged incidents of “harassment and intimidation” of its officials in Indian mission in Islamabad, Indian media reported.

The note, which was 15th such communication in less than three months, specifically mentioned tailing of the vehicles of India’s deputy high commissioner, military attache, air attache and naval attache on Tuesday.

Reports said that the vehicles were allegedly aggressively tailed on motorcycles in close proximity within a threatening distance, while coming from residence to Chancery and going back from Chancery to residence.

The reports said staff members of Indian high commission received unsolicited and objectionable calls from Pakistan registered numbers on their phones five-six times since Monday.

They said another diplomat of the mission, who was going to Australian High Commission for a meeting, was allegedly aggressively followed by two people in a Mehran Suzuki car.

“We have requested Pakistan to immediately investigate all these incidents and direct the relevant authorities to ensure that such incidents do not recur. Results of the investigations may kindly be shared with the High Commission,” said report.

The note verbale was sent on Tuesday to Pakistan Foreign Ministry by Indian High Commission.

The website of High Commission of India continues to be intermittently blocked and it is causing inconvenience and has affected normal functioning of the mission.
