India and Pakistan have allegedly reached a truce to treat diplomats from the other country according to a pact signed 25 years ago.
A Foreign Ministry statement said that both countries have “mutually agreed” to resolve matters related to the treatment of diplomats according to a 12-point code of conduct signed in 1992.
In this agreement, both countries had decided, not to carry out intrusive and aggressive surveillance of the diplomats, chasing their cars or harass each other. In case of breach of code, the agreement required an intimation to be sent to the high commission before lodging a formal protest. Once a country did so far as to file the protest, the other side was required to probe the complaint and take steps to rectify the situation.
