My teacher once told this summoning of officials is nothing but withdrawal of certain amenities that embassy personnel's are offered...

Like for example in this case

1. The Indian First Secretary would have been left alone in the room without any A.C, Tea, biscuits etc... and since you are not allowed to take your mobile phones he would have felt very uneasy or uncomfortable for 2-3 hours which is the main intention of such protests/Summoning.
2. Common courtesies like an equivalent rank official meeting him at the entrance would not have happened.
3. After the "Punishment" period he would have been told of the scenario and told to take care of it...

Thus after the 3rd stage the summoning ends... and he would have left for home or in this case The Indian embassy...

Protest is not enough... and neither is working.
bring Musharraf, he knows how to make bold maneuvers.

 

[jaatram]

Protest acknowledged.

 

[OTTOMAN]

Protest acknowledged.

Exactly my point... its better to die quietly than to protest bharis.

 

[Nicky G]

Probably a terrorist. A man being dragged across the border make little sense.

Yup do bring him back, you'd first have to get him back into your country.

Coward Indian Army!

Full of Contradictions ain't it?

If the farmer had inadvertently crossed over into Indian side of LOC, then why did BSF need to violate international border, shoot him and then drag his body back to Indian side?

Yeah protest is not enough, Bring Musharaff and make what?He chickened out when George Bush Jr. told him if you don't cooperate with us "We Will Bomb You To Stone Age!" .
What will your Old and defeated horse do? except beg with us for ceasefire or for a settlement where you lose Azad Kashmir and make permanent Peace with Bharat.
To have peace with us Leave Azad Kashmir and then TALK!

It doesn't matter to me whether they believe it or not... though they really should use their mind in analysing the "SUMMONING" as they say.... because you can't berate an official of the embassy, the best you can do is make is "Summoning" period uncomfortable...
