The government of Pakistan has lodged a strong protest with the UK High Commission, demanding action against threats and protests made by British citizens against Pakistan. According to sources, the UK Deputy Head of Mission, Met Kenil, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was presented with a letter of protest.
The protest was sparked by recent protests in the UK, where Pakistani expatriates and sympathizers have been making threatening statements against the government of Pakistan. The protesters have been using social media to spread their message, with some even calling for the assassination of Field Marshal Qamar Javed Bajwa.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its concern over the situation, stating that Pakistan takes the threats seriously and expects the UK government to take action against the perpetrators. The Ministry has also demanded that the UK government take necessary measures to prevent the spread of hate speech and extremism.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Pakistan expects the UK government to take a firm stance against the perpetrators and bring them to justice. The statement added that Pakistan has been a victim of terrorism and extremism for decades and expects the international community to support it in its efforts to combat these threats.
