India-Pakistan tensions: Pakistani official declared ‘persona non grata’, asked to leave within 24 hours
- On May 13, 2025, India declared a diplomat from Pakistan’s mission in New Delhi unwelcome and ordered their departure from the country.
- India’s Ministry of External Affairs accused a Pakistani official at its High Commission in New Delhi of conduct that violated his diplomatic privileges and ordered his departure amid escalating tensions following recent cross-border military clashes.
- This expulsion followed Operation Sindoor, a military strike targeting Pakistani terror infrastructure after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 that killed 26 persons.
- India demanded the official leave within 24 hours, conveyed to Pakistan’s Charge d'Affaires Saad Warraich by a formal demarche, while Pakistan did not respond publicly to the expulsion.
- The incident reflects ongoing acrimony despite a tentative ceasefire, with India reinforcing counter-espionage efforts and both nations maintaining volatile relations on their disputed border.
