Washington: Protesting against forced disappearances, a US-based Sindhi organisation, along with Balochis and Pashtuns, on Saturday demonstrated outside the residence of Pakistan's Ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed Khan, here.
During the protest outside the Pakistani ambassador's house, Munawar Laghari, Executive Director of Sindhi Foundation told ANI: "Enforced disappearance is a crime against humanity, and we are continuing our struggle, until the world, especially the United States and the United Nation, they declare Pakistan as a terrorist state."
"In the past seven weeks, 92 people have disappeared in Pakistan. And what nobody knows where they are!' said the Sindhi leader.
Protestors say China's stakes are rising in Pakistan. Together the two nations are building a false narrative against India. And one such classic example is raking up of Kashmir issue at the United Nations, reports ANI.
A political activist from Gilgit Baltistan condemned Beijing and said the international community should stop the country's excroaching influence.
"China is taking the lead in formulating Pakistan's foreign policy, as well as economic policies. This is a huge alarm for the rest of the world," Senge H Sering, the director of the Institute of Gilgit Baltistan told ANI.
