Since June 2025, Pakistan has imposed targeted restrictions on the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, notably halting the supply of newspapers in apparent retaliation for India’s Operation Sindoor, a military offensive launched in May 2025 against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. This move, part of broader measures including disruptions in the supply of cooking gas and bottled water to Indian diplomats, is seen as a deliberate attempt to harass Indian officials and a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Operation Sindoor, launched after the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April 2025, involved precision strikes on terror camps linked to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, resulting in significant casualties among terrorists. Following these Indian strikes, Pakistan escalated tensions by targeting Indian military installations and civilians, leading to a brief conflict that ended with a ceasefire on May 10. India, in a reciprocal move, has also stopped newspaper supplies to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. Analysts characterize Pakistan’s restrictive actions as petty retaliation reflecting deeper frustrations after military setbacks, underscoring the continued diplomatic and security tensions between the two countries two months after the conflict. The situation remains tense, with diplomatic relations strained and operational pressures on both missions ongoing.
