Members of the Indian community and the Indian diaspora staged a strong protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in London, condemning the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
Holding Indian flags, banners, and placards, the protesters expressed deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives and demanded justice for the victims.
They raised slogans against terrorism and criticized Pakistan for allegedly supporting and sheltering terror groups responsible for such attacks.
The demonstration was peaceful yet powerful, drawing participants from various age groups and backgrounds who came together in solidarity with the victims and their families.
Further, as the members of the Indian community held the protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in London on Friday, a senior official of the Pakistan Army was caught on camera making threatening gestures toward the protestors in London.
In videos that are now viral on social media, Colonel Taimur Rahat, Pakistan Army and Air Advisor in the High Commission in London was seen publicly making a threatening throat slit gesture towards Indian community protestors.
Over 500 British Hindus participated in the protest outside the Pakistan Embassy over the Pahalgam terror attack.
The protestors condemned the Pakistan High Commission for playing loud music and making insensitive comments while people were in grief. In a statement, the organiser said, “Today’s protest was a call for justice and accountability. However, in a disturbing and shameful turn of events, officials within the Pakistan Embassy were seen playing loud celebratory music during the protest–a tone-deaf and disgraceful act that added deep insult to an already grievous injury. While the world mourns the victims, the embassy’s actions displayed a shocking lack of empathy and human decency. Organisers condemn the Embassy’s insensitive behaviour amid national grief. This horrifying terror attack, allegedly linked to Pakistan-sponsored militants, has sparked global condemnation. Families on pilgrimage were brutally attacked–slaughtered simply for their faith.”
