    India summons Iranian envoy over Kashmir remarks

    New Delhi: Upset over persistently critical statements by Iran on Jammu and Kashmir, India today summoned its acting Ambassador, telling him that such remarks impinged on the country's territorial integrity. New Delhi issued a strong demarche to Iran's charge d'affaires Reza Alaei expressing its 'deep disappointment' over the remarks, which is seen here as 'impingement of territorial integrity and sovereignty'.

    In an apparent tit-for-tat, India, for the first time, abstained late last night from voting on the UN resolution on the human rights violations in Iran. In past, India has always voted against the resolution.

    Noting that it was a matter of 'serious concern', the sources said these comments have also factored India's decision to abstain from voting on the UN resolution, which was piloted by Canada and several other countries
