Sri Lankans Protest against J&K Attack outside Pak High Commission
In a bold display of solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, an estimated 200-300 Sri Lankans staged a protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo on Wednesday, condemning the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. The protesters, carrying banners that read “stop state sponsored terrorism” and “we don’t need Pakistan”, demanded an end to Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism in the region.
The protest was sparked by the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of at least 26 people, including a Nepali national. The attack, which was carried out by suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists, has sent shockwaves across the region, with many countries condemning the brutal act of terrorism.
The protesters, who gathered outside the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo, were a mix of students, professionals, and locals who expressed their outrage and disgust at the attack. They demanded that Pakistan take immediate action to curb the activities of terrorist groups operating from its soil, and urged the international community to take a strong stance against terrorism.
“We are here today to condemn the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and to demand that Pakistan take immediate action to stop state-sponsored terrorism,” said a protest organizer, who wished to remain anonymous. “We believe that terrorism is a threat to global peace and security, and we urge the international community to take a united stand against it.”
The protesters also urged the Sri Lankan government to take a strong stance against terrorism, and to work closely with other countries to prevent such attacks from happening in the future. “We are proud of our country’s history of resisting terrorism, and we urge the government to continue its efforts to ensure the safety and security of our citizens,” said another protester.
The protest was peaceful and well-organized, with protesters chanting slogans and holding banners as they marched outside the Pakistan High Commission. The police were present at the scene, but there were no reports of any violence or arrests.
The Sri Lankan government has also condemned the attack, and has called for an international investigation into the incident. “We strongly condemn the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and we urge the international community to take a strong stance against terrorism,” said a government spokesperson.
The protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo is a significant development in the wake of the Pahalgam attack, and is a testament to the strong ties between the people of Sri Lanka and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It is a reminder that terrorism is a global threat, and that it requires a global response to combat it effectively.
In conclusion, the protest outside the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo is a powerful expression of solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and a clear message to Pakistan and the international community that terrorism will not be tolerated. As the world grapples with the challenge of combating terrorism, it is imperative that we work together to prevent such attacks from happening in the future.
