After taxicabs, anti-Pakistan ads appear on London buses
LONDON, (DNA) – Just days after Islamabad lodged a protest with Briton over a display of anti-Pakistan slogans on London taxicabs, over 100 buses are now crisscrossing London with anti-Pakistan advertisements.
The World Baloch Organisation (WBO) has launched the third phase of a malicious campaign against Pakistan after taxis and billboards.
Pakistan, on November 3, summoned British High Commissioner Thomas Drew to lodge a protest after Pakistani social media users spotted the taxicabs on London roads and even shared their pictures.
The Foreign Office had termed the anti-Pakistan advertisements a direct attack on Pakistani’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
“Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua called in British High Commissioner Thomas Drew to convey Pakistan’s serious concern over the controversial slogans,” said an FO statement issued earlier this month.
It said the high commissioner was informed that Pakistan, in line with the United Nations (UN) Charter, rejects actions and advertisements with malicious content that impinge on our sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Pakistan later announced that Transport for London (TfL), the body that runs London’s transport network, has ordered the removal of anti-Pakistan propaganda advertisements from taxicabs in London after the authorities drew the attention of the British officials to the offensive material.
