Watch: MEA summons Pakistan envoy after India-Pak naval ships collide | Above the Fold
India has summoned Pakistan’s Charge d’Affaires after a Pakistani naval vessel collided with an Indian Navy warship in the North Arabian Sea. The MEA called the conduct “unacceptable” and “unprofessional”, saying it contravened an agreement between India and Pakistan on advance notice of military exercises. What could the incident mean for India-Pakistan relations? Also in focus: New charges for larger UPI merchant payments, escalating Saudi-Houthi tensions in West Asia, New Zealand’s approval of its free trade agreement with India, the Supreme Court’s decision on the NEET-UG protests panel, and the controversy over the transfer of a Muslim IPS officer in West Bengal.
