ISLAMABAD: Pakistan summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Islamabad, Manpreet Vohra here Thursday and registered its formal protest over recent airspace violations by Indian air force.
Foreign Office summoned India’s envoy after receiving Pakistan Air Force’s report on the incident, in which the Indian fighter jets crossed into Pakistani airspace over Kashmir and over Punjab province last Saturday.
Government said its own fighter jets were scrambled to chase off the intruders, but it also played down the incident by describing the violations as "technical" and "inadvertent".
India's deputy high commissioner, Manpreet Vohra, was given a written protest against the intrusions, saying they contravened a 1991 agreement aimed at preventing such incidents, the foreign ministry spokesman said. |
