    Asserting that Ali's action was not "acceptable" given the close and friendly ties between India and Palestine, the top envoy told PTI that Ali has been given couple of days to pack and return from Islamabad.

    "The Palestine government has told Ali that he was not anymore its envoy to Pakistan," Haija said.

    Difah-e-Pakistan Council is an association of religious and extremist groups in Pakistan headed by Saeed.
