New Delhi called in Pakistan's Chief Diplomatic Adviser to protest what it says is Islamabad's role in enabling illegal infiltration across the border.
India's Ministry of External Affairs summoned the Pakistani Chief Diplomatic Adviser (CDA) to register a formal protest against what New Delhi described as Islamabad's facilitation of illegal cross‑border infiltration. The diplomatic engagement underscores heightened concerns in New Delhi over unauthorized movements across the India‑Pakistan frontier.
According to Indian officials, the alleged facilitation involves support for individuals attempting to cross the border without authorization, posing security challenges for Indian forces stationed along the Line of Control and the international border. The Ministry emphasized that such activities undermine bilateral trust and contravene established protocols.
The Pakistani side has not issued an immediate public response to the summons. Analysts note that diplomatic protests of this nature are part of a broader pattern of tension over border security, with both capitals periodically exchanging accusations of infiltration and related incidents.
The development comes amid ongoing efforts by both governments to manage border management while addressing domestic security imperatives. Any escalation could impact broader India‑Pakistan relations, which remain fragile despite periodic dialogue initiatives.
