DELHI (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th February, 2019) Pakistan has recalled its ambassador in India for consultations amid bilateral tensions over recent attack on Indian military convoy in the town of Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir state, Pakistani Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad Faisal said Monday.
