Islamabad, May 15 (IANS) The only two Indian journalists stationed in Pakistan have been told to leave the country by May 20, a media report said Thursday.
Snehesh Alex Philip of The Press Trust of India (PTI) and Meena Menon of The Hindu newspaper were told to leave the country by May 20, Dawn online reported.
"Both of them were told to leave the country by May 20 as their visas would not be renewed," the report quoted an unnamed caller as telling both the journalists Tuesday.
