The Pakistan government has sought a report from officials on how Indian Minister Jairam Ramesh "strolled" into Pakistani territory at the Wagah border, violating rules and regulations last week, a media report has said.

Indian Minister of State for Commerce Ramesh's "stroll" on Pakistani soil on Friday is being seen by diplomatic observers in Islamabad as a show of disrespect for the country's sovereignty, The News daily reported on Sunday.

The interior ministry has asked its officials to submit a report on the incident, which was described by the Indian media as "inadvertent", it reported.

Interior ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema refused to comment on the incident, saying he wants to first see the report.

It was alleged that Ramesh and some Indian officials walked up to a conference hall of the paramilitary Pakistan Rangers, about 40 yards inside Pakistan.

However, Ramesh, when asked how he could cross the border without any legal papers, was quoted as telling Indian mediapersons that he did not cross into Pakistan illegally.

The Pakistan government has reportedly taken a "serious view" of the incident as it did not comply with diplomatic norms, the daily said.
