Pakistan seeks consular access to suspects
ISLAMABAD: Commenting on the arrest of several Pakistani nationals in the United Kingdom, the Foreign Office (FO) on Saturday said the British government had contacted Islamabad at the highest level.
The UK has been assured of Pakistans cooperation in the case if evidence of their involvement in any criminal activity was found, an FO spokesman said. He said the Pakistani High Commission in London had been instructed to obtain precise details and also seek consular access for the suspects.
The spokesman said no one should jump to conclusions and let the law take its course, and cautioned against any steps by anyone that might single out or ostracise a community.
Perhaps if the Pak gummint and Pak community in Britain were more forward in identifying the bad boyz in their midst people wouldn't be jumping to conclusions ... |
