New Delhi: In stringent steps against Pakistan in the backdrop of the Pahalgam terror attack, India on Wednesday declared the Defence/Military, Naval and Air Advisors in the Pakistani High Commission here as Persona Non Grata and gave them a week to leave the country.
Briefing the media after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said India would be withdrawing its own Defence/Navy/Air Advisors from the country’s High Commission in Islamabad, deeming these posts in the respective High Commissions as annulled.
The CCS also decided to immediately close the Integrated Check Post at Attari and asked all Pakistani nationals in India to leave within 48 hours. Those Indians who have crossed over can return by May 1.
Misri said no Pakistani national would be allowed to travel to India.
He also announced that the Indus Waters Treaty will be held in abeyance with immediate effect till Pakistan abjures terrorism. UNI
