NEW DELHI - India has complained to the Pakistan government over the harassment of its diplomats posted in Islamabad.
On Monday, the Indian High Commission in the Pakistani capital wrote to the government over attempts that have been made to hack into the social media accounts of senior Indian officials. It has also raised the not-so-secret surveillance being carried out against senior diplomats.
In a letter to the Pakistan government, the Indian High Commission in Islamabad alleged that the social media accounts of its senior officials were under hack attack, news agency ANI reported.
It also raised issue over surveillance, saying the Indian High Commission and Deputy High Commissioner had been closely followed and aggressively watched by Pakistani security officials when they attended a recent wedding in Islamabad.
The Indian High Commission's formal letter comes amid heightened tensions between the fraternal rivals, with both sides accusing each other of poor treatment of officials posted in the either country.
On December 21, a delegation of Indian officials visiting Peshawar had been stopped by the side of the road and questioned for 30 minutes despite offers of cooperation in their hotel, India has claimed.
