Pakistan registered a formal protest with Afghan authorities on Tuesday over the acting consul general’s disrespectful behaviour towards the national anthem during an event in Peshawar.

“The disrespect of host country’s national anthem is against diplomatic norms,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a statement.

Afghan Acting Consul General Muhib Ullah Shakil and his aide were attending the National Rehmat-ul-Lil-Aalamin (PBUH) Conference when all attendees, including KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, stood for the national anthem.

However, the Afghan diplomat and his aide remained seated, prompting a strong reaction from Islamabad.
