On Saturday, Indian diplomats were stopped from attending the Iftar Party hosted by Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria in Islamabad.
Pakistan security guards stopped some of the guests outside and obstructed their entry to the party.
Ajay Bisaria later apologised to all the guests who were mistreated.
” We apologise to all our guests who were aggressively turned away from our Iftar yesterday. Such intimidatory tactics are deeply disappointing. They not only violate basic norms of diplomatic conduct and civilized behaviour, they are counter-productive for our bilateral relations, ” he was quoted by news agency ANI as saying.
