Over 500 British Hindus held a protest outside the Pakistan Embassy over the Pahalgam terror attack on Friday. They raised slogans against terrorism and criticised Pakistan for supporting and sheltering terror groups responsible for such attacks. Holding Indian flags, banners, and placards, the protesters expressed deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives and demanded justice for the victims.
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."
A member of the Indian diaspora who gathered in London to hold a protest against Pakistan said to ANI, 'They (Pakistan) have nurtured a terror factory, and because of which 26 of our people were killed in Pahalgam. We have gathered to protest against it."
Another protester said that the Indian community staying in the UK is agitated due to the 'heinous terror attack" in Pahalgam.
The Indian community called for three key actions: summoning Pakistan's High Commissioner by the UK Government to demand an explanation, public condemnation by Pakistan of the killings and a commitment to end terrorism sponsorship, and diplomatic pressure to bring the perpetrators and their financiers to justice.
At least 26 tourists were killed, including 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen, following a terrorist attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22.
In response, the Indian government announced several diplomatic measures, such as closing the Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari, suspending the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) for Pakistani nationals, giving them 40 hours to return to their country, and reducing the number of officers in the High Commissions on both sides.
India suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack. The treaty, facilitated by the World Bank, was the result of nine years of negotiations between the two countries.
