The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday summoned the British Deputy Head of the Mission and lodged a formal protest regarding recent anti-government demonstrations in Bradford. The protests, held near the Pakistani consulate, involved provocative rhetoric and violent threats against Pakistani leadership.
According to sources, the political account of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in the UK was used to mobilise protesters. During the demonstration, inflammatory language was used against Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir. Pakistan has taken serious note of these threats, demanding the UK prevent its soil from being used to destabilise Pakistan.
The demarche issued by MoFA emphasised the gravity of the situation. Pakistan has called on the British government to take strict action against those responsible, holding them accountable under the law. The foreign ministry’s statement underscored that such actions directly contravene international norms and UK counter-terrorism laws.
