LONDON: Anti-Pakistan sentiments is fuelling anger among the locals in Afghanistan and its nationals living abroad, as killings of innocent people in various incidents in Afghanistan have been blamed on terror infiltration from across the Pakistan border. The protest turned aggressive and violent after some of the protesters attacked the building by pelting stones and throwing water bottles at the Pakistan High Commission premises.
Expressing their increasing anger against Pakistan, a group of Afghan protesters on Monday staged a demonstration outside the Pakistani High Commission building in London, carrying banners and raising anti-Pakistan slogans. Footages of the protest, which went viral on social media, showed protesters throwing objects at the Pakistan High Commission (PHC) premises.
The Pakistan High Commission, taking notice of the incident, has lodged a complaint with the UK government, asking it to take strict action against the culprits, who damaged the building of the high commission.
Pakistan has also reminded the UK government of the protest in 2019, when an ethnic group had vandalized the commission's building. However, no action was taken against the culprits. It is believed that the protest was led by a group called 'The Watan', which had also called for a protest on Sunday outside the Pakistani High Commission in London. The protest was about the killings in Afghanistan, blame for which has been put on Pakistan.
