Pakistan Presses UK to Act on PTI-Linked Video Threatening Army Chief

Islamabad portrays the case as a test of UK counterterrorism commitments.

Overview

  • State Minister Tallal Chaudhry said Pakistan has formally asked the UK to act on PTI-linked social media content calling for the assassination of Field Marshal Asim Munir.
  • The complaint centers on a December 23 video posted by the UKPTIOFFICIAL X account from a PTI protest outside the Bradford Consulate, where a speaker referenced a car-bomb killing.
  • Pakistan says it has provided the video and transcript to British authorities in Islamabad and London and requested identification, investigation, and prosecution of those involved.
  • The letter urges scrutiny of PTI UK–affiliated platforms and raises possible administrative steps, including prohibiting PTI activity in Britain.
  • Islamabad cites the UK Terrorism Act 2006 and UN Security Council Resolution 1373 and notes the UK response has not been made public.
