ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan condemned India’s order for visiting Pakistani nationals to leave from a Rajasthani city in 48 hours.
Indian media reported that on Tuesday that Pakistani nationals, staying in the Indian city of Bikaner in Rajasthan state, have been ordered to leave the area within 48 hours by the district authority.
Denouncing the move, FO spokesperson Dr. Muhammad Faisal said in a statement on Twitter, “Indian peremptory order for visiting Pakistanis to leave Rajasthan in 48 hours and prohibiting hotels from accommodating them is a condemnable reflection of Indian jingoism and hate mongering spurred on by election histrionics.”
He further wrote that this decision has exposed “sham facade of Indian hospitality and tourism friendliness”.
“We expect India to comply with inter-state norms, and ensure absolute safety and security of all Pakistanis there,” the spokesman added.
