In a tit-for-tat move, Pakistan on Thursday declared Indian high commission official Surjeet Singh as 'persona non-grata' and asked him to leave the country in next 48 hours.
"The activities of Surjeet Singh in Islamabad were in violation of Vienna Convention and established diplomatic norms," Pakistan foreign office said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, India had declared Pakistan high commission staffer Mehmood Akhtar 'persona non-grata' for spying and asked him to leave the country within 48 hours after he was caught by Delhi Police with sensitive defence documents, including those about deployment details of BSF along the India-Pak border.
