India protests as Pak stops envoy from meeting Sikh pilgrims
India on Sunday said it has lodged a "strong protest" after Pakistan prevented High Commissioner Ajay Bisaria and diplomats from meeting Sikh pilgrims. The pilgrims were visiting Pakistan under a bilateral agreement to facilitate religious visits. Calling it a standard practice for Indian diplomats to accompany visiting pilgrims, India accused Pakistan of "inexplicable diplomatic discourtesy".
