Hoping to take the steam off mounting diplomatic pressures pushing it to act against terror elements present in its territories, Pakistan on Thursday registered a formal protest against alleged violations of its airspace by Indian fighter jets last week, New Delhi has already denied the incident.
The Pakistan Foreign Office summoned India's Deputy High Commissioner Manpreet Vohra and handed him a note regarding the alleged airspace violations.
According to media reports attributing the information to diplomatic sources, the protest note was handed over to Vohra by Pakistan's Additional Secretary (South Asia) Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry.
Communicating its concerns, in the note, Islamabad has reportedly sought an explanation from India over the incident, says PTI.
Pakistan, on December 13, claimed that two Indian jets entered its airspace in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Lahore sectors.
An IAF spokesperson had later rubbished the claims while maintaining that no Indian jets had violated Pakistan’s airspace.
The Pakistani Air Force spokesman had then said that Indian authorities had been contacted and informed of the incident and he described the alleged violation as a "technical incursion of a minor nature made by mistake".
