ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Ministry of foreign affairs has taken serious exception to the Indian government action against the Pakistani students who had gone to India on a cultural exchange visit.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pakistan has announced to take action against threats to Pakistani students and teachers by extremists in India.
"The delegation of students and children was sent back through Wagah border because the host organisation was getting threats," Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said in a statement.
"Diplomatic sources will take action of the incident," he said.
India has been adamant on its hostile policy against Pakistan, Muslims and minorities, he added.
He pointed out extremists in India have created troubles for Pakistani actors in the past as well.
An international store where Pakistani products were being sold was also attacked recently, he noted, but the Indian government only watched the incident as spectators.
Zakaria added extremism in India, also targetting Christians and people from other minority communities, was visible to people across the world.
A delegation of Pakistani students and teachers was sent back from India on Wednesday. They had gone to India on an exchange programme.
According to Indian media reports, the students, who had reached India on May 1, were sent back home within a day after threats were made to the host NGO for inviting the students.
Reportedly, the NGO was advised by Indian government officials that the time was unfavourable for the exchange programme.
