Pakistan breaking promises, says MEA“The Government of India strongly protests against the continued infiltration from Pakistan of trained terrorists with instructions to carry out attacks. We are willing to grant Pakistan High Commission consular access to [militant] Bahadur Ali,” the MEA said in a statement after Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar’s meeting with Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit. Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar handed over the ‘demarche’, and also a letter from Bahadur Ali to Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit. India on Tuesday issued a strong diplomatic note of protest, holding Pakistan responsible for cross-border terrorism. The ‘demarche’ to Mr. Basit said Ali was caught with arms and ammunition of “Pakistani/international origin.”Keywords: India's demarche to Pakistan
