Overview
- Pakistan summoned the UK’s acting high commissioner and issued a formal demarche, handing over a video and transcript it says show a woman at a PTI-linked Bradford protest calling for a car‑bomb attack on Field Marshal Asim Munir.
- A British High Commission spokesperson said policing and prosecution are independent and asked Pakistan to provide all relevant evidence through the designated UK police liaison.
- PTI UK deleted the X post carrying the protest clip, describing the remarks as metaphorical and stating the party does not endorse unlawful behavior.
- Islamabad’s letter cites UNSC Resolution 1373 and the UK Terrorism Act 2006, and asks the UK to investigate, prosecute those responsible, and consider legal or administrative action against PTI UK where warranted.
- No prosecutions have been announced as PTI and supporters reject the government’s framing, leaving the matter in diplomatic exchanges and potential legal review.
