The FO said it has also noted the unwarranted remarks and queries raised by certain British Members of Parliament, which reflect a lack of awareness and disregard for the historical background of the issue.

For those still living in colonial times, it bears reiterating that Pakistan is a sovereign and democratic republic that firmly believes in non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and expects the same from others.

“The Governments of Pakistan and AJK fully recognise and respect the constitutional rights of citizens to peaceful assembly, freedom of expression and democratic participation,” the FO said.

However, it said that vandalism, the destruction of public services, including hospitals, and the murder of innocent civilians and law enforcement officials cannot be permitted under any circumstances.

“We the British Government to educate and caution those supporting proscribed organisations to refrain from such actions and to respect the democratic process, judicial decisions, and the rule of law as enshrined in the Constitutions of AJK and Pakistan,” the FO statement said.
