India may send envoy back to Pakistan

India is considering sending its High Commissioner back to Islamabad as part of its calibrated steps to de-escalate the current tension with Pakistan.

Official sources in New Delhi said on Tuesday that Harsh Bhasin, India's High Commissioner-designate to Pakistan, is 'preparing' himself for his assignment in place of Vijay Nambiar, who was recalled on December 21 last year following the terrorist attack on Parliament.

Bhasin has recently returned from New York.

The sources said no official word has yet gone to Islamabad on Bhasin though the government is considering sending him there.

An External Affairs Ministry spokesperson had said an emphatic 'no' on Monday when asked whether India had taken a decision to send back its High Commissioner to Islamabad.

Meanwhile, defence ministry sources said steps to withdraw some warships from Arabian sea to their bases could also be on the anvil.

The government had ordered five naval ships to move from the Eastern Fleet to Arabian sea after May 14 Kaluchak terrorist attack.
