New Delhi, Jan 20: An angry India today summoned the Pakistani envoy here and lodged a strong protest over the "unprecedented harassment" of its Charge D'Affaires (CDA) in Islamabad Sudhir Vyas in gross violation of international norms. For the second time in three days, Pakistani intelligence officials resorted to intimidatory tactics by driving dangerously close to the CDA's official vehicle while he was on his way to office. His vehicle was repeatedly blocked on Saturday. Pakistan's Charge D' Affaires Jalil Abbas Jilani was called to the foreign office here and handed over a protest note by Arun Kumar Singh, joint secretary, condemning the action of Pakistani authorities against Vyas.
"Such harassment is unprecedented and amounts to a clear attempt by the Pakistan's intelligence services to thwart the CDA in the performance of his diplomatic duties," external affairs ministry spokesman told reporters.
