(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Pakistan's Foreign Office on Tuesday issued a travel advisory to citizens visiting various parts of India after an attack on a Pakistani prisoner, on fears that this could spark an angry reaction from the public there.
"We have seen some disturbing reports in the Indian media which indicate that the safety and security of Pakistani visitors to India, including that of over 600 Zaireen scheduled to visit Ajmer Sharif for the annual Urs this month, may be in jeopardy," the Foreign Office spokesman, Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry said in a statement said.
"The Government of Pakistan wishes to advise its citizens who are planning to travel to India to exercise due caution and care while travelling to various parts of India," the spokesman further added.
Earlier, on May 3, an individual attacked a Pakistani prisoner in an Indian jail, leaving him hospitalised in critical condition.
This act of violence was a tit-for-tat response to the Indian convicted spy Sarabjit Singh, who died after an attack on him by fellow inmates in a Pakistani jail.
Chaudhry said that the Government of Pakistan would also call upon the Government of India to ensure that necessary arrangements are in place to provide full protection to all Pakistani visitors to India. Â
