Enraged over the killing of an ”innocent” Indian fisherman by Pakistani forces last week, India today summoned a senior diplomat from the Pakistan High Commission to the foreign office and lodged a strong protest while demanding a thorough inquiry into the incident.
”The Government of India condemns this deplorable action by a Pakistani agency of firing at an Indian fishing boat and causing the loss of life which is in contravention to all established international practices and bilateral understandings,” the Pakistani diplomat was told in unequivocal terms by New Delhi.
