| Dutch envoy summoned, India conveys unhappiness | | |
Taking "strong notice" of the arrest and detention of 12 Indians from a flight in Amsterdam, the government has summoned the Dutch Ambassador and conveyed its unhappiness over the incident.
Hours after the Mumbai residents were released by the authorities in Amsterdam, Dutch Ambassador Eric Niehe was called to the foreign office by Secretary West U C Tripathy and convyed the Indian government's stand on the matter.
"We have taken a strong notice of this development. It is not only unfortunate it should have never happened. We have asked for a detailed report from our mission in Holland," Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma told reporters.
The minister said the Dutch government has expressed regret over the incident.
He said the Indian mission was compiling a report seeking details from Justice ministry in Holland.
The Dutch Ambassador in Delhi was summoned by the foreign office.
Sharma said the government was yet to get the full picture as to what happened.
The 12 freed Indians have already left for home and would be in Mumbai by tonight.
"Our (Indian government's) views have been conveyed at the highest level to the Dutch government. Our External Affairs Ministry officials have been in touch with the Dutch government at the highest level. Our Ambassador (in The Hague) was also in touch with them."
