Pakistan advised citizens to cautions on visiting India

Islamabad: Pakistan on Tuesday advised its citizens travelling to India to exercise ‘due caution’ following reports that their security ‘may be in jeopardy’.

The advisory was issued days after a Pakistani prisoner, Sanaullah Ranjay, was severely assaulted in a jail in Jammu. Ranjay was attacked soon after Indian death row prisoner
Sarabjit Singh died in Lahore following a brutal assault in Kot Lakhpat Jail.

The two incidents triggered fresh tensions between the two countries.

Earlier this year, bilateral relations were hit by a string of violations of the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

“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,” the statement said.
