India Summons Pakistan High Commissioner Over Uri Terror Attack
New Delhi (Sputnik) — In the Union Cabinet meeting held on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was decided to intensify the diplomatic efforts to isolate Pakistan.

In view of this decision India is likely to recall Indian High Commissioner Gautam Bambawala from Islamabad, sources in the Ministry of External Affairs told Sputnik.

“I am quite sure when the government of India is considering various options to respond to the Uri attack and not only Uri but before that also there has been a continuity of attacks in India. Pakistan is continuously increasing hostility with India. So India has to take adequate reciprocal measures and this might be one on them,” Former Foreign Secretary Shashank told Sputnik.

In the fallout of the recent terror attack on an Indian army base in Kashmir, India is also considering to impact Pakistan on the economic front as well which may result in the withdrawal of the Most Favored Nation status which India has given to Pakistan for trade.
