ISLAMABAD is likely to pull out four of its officers posted in Pakistan’s High Commission in New Delhi, days after Indian authorities declared one official persona non grata, reports Pak media.

“This is under consideration. A final decision would be taken shortly,” a source told Dawn newspaper

The names of the officers — commercial counsellor Syed Furrukh Habib and first secretaries Khadim Huss­ain, Mudassir Cheema and Shahid Iqbal — were made public after Indian officials released to media a recorded statement of a high commission staffer Mehm­ood Akhtar, who was expelled from India after being declared persona non grata.
