Staffer row: Pak accuses India of subverting rules

Pakistan has said that Kulwant Singh, the Indian high commission staffer who was prevented from crossing over to India by road, was stopped 'for travelling without completing procedural requirements' and accused Indian officials of 'deliberately subverting' rules agreed between both the countries.

A Pakistan foreign office spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday night that the staffer had not completed the formalities required to travel by road.

"The foreign office has conveyed its deep concern to the Indian high commission in Islamabad at the deliberate effort of the Indian official to circumvent the relevant requirements," said the statement.

The spokesman, however, did not specify the formalities, which were not fulfilled by the Indian authorities while shifting Singh by road.

Singh was being moved to India for urgent medical treatment to injuries suffered during his detention and interrogation by Pakistan intelligence agencies last week.

Indian diplomats in Islamabad maintained that Singh was sent after completing the formalities, including informing the foreign office through a note verbale on June 3, 2002.

A protest note sent by the Indian high commission to the foreign office has also mentioned the details of the note verbale as well as the permission obtained for export and re-import of the vehicle that carried Singh.

Singh is expected to be taken to India by the same route on Thursday.
