COLOMBO ; Responding to a media query regarding protests in front of the
High Commission of Pakistan in Colombo on 30 April and 2 May
, a spokesperson of the High Commission of Pakistan said in a statement on Friday that it’s not a secret who instigated and sponsored those innocentpeople to be part of the protest, most of whom did not even know where they were and why they were there at all. The elements orchestrating these activities and creating divisions neither have any regard for the harmony of society nor any respect for the rules and local laws.
Responding to a related query that since the instigator of these protests is well known, whether Pakistan High Commissionwould be arranging a similar protest soon?, the spokespersonstated that there is a strong bond of love, respect and understanding between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and between the
people of the two countries. We do not want to be part of any activity, including staging protests, which would disturb the dailyroutine of the peaceful and brotherly people of Sri Lanka.
On the overall situation in the region, the spokesperson added that while Pakistan like any responsible country has already offered independent probe into the incident that happened at Pahalgam in
the Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir, the Pakistani nation is ready to give a befitting response to any misadventure by India.
