In the wake of Pulwama terror attack, India has called its High Commissioner in Islamabad Ajay Bisaria to New Delhi for immediate consultations.

Bisaria will arrive in New Delhi for consultations Saturday, sources told ANI.

The Indian envoy has been called for consultations at a time when India government is looking at options for giving a befitting reply to Pakistan over the dastardly terror attack in Pulwama in Kashmir Thursday, in which around 40 CRPF personnel were killed. 
Pakistan has called back its High Commissioner to India for "consultations" in connection with the backlash it is facing over the Pulwama terror attack.

Dr Mohammad Faisal, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Pakistan, confirmed the same in a post on Twitter.

"We have called back our High Commissioner in India for consultations. He left New Delhi this morning," he said.

On Thursday, a local Kashmiri militant rammed an explosive-laden van into a convoy bus, killing at least 40 soldiers in the worst attack against Indian government forces in Kashmir's history.
