South Asians and others demonstrated outside Pakistani diplomatic missions
Protests were held across the US, and the UK against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, commemorating the dastardly 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks of 2008. Japan too saw protesters gather in front of the Pakistan embassy in Tokyo calling for justice. They also paid tribute to the victims killed in the terror attacks that claimed 166 lives.
Digital media trucks with the message ‘Never Forget‘ and displaying images of the 26/11 carnage in Mumbai as well as the perpetrators of the attack now in Pakistan made rounds of the five cities. Demonstrations also took place in front of the Pakistan Consulate in Houston, Chicago, and the Pakistan Community Centre in New Jersey.
Denouncing the support and protection given by Pakistan to terrorists, South Asians and others demonstrated outside Pakistani diplomatic missions in New York, Washington, and Houston on the anniversary of the attacks on Saturday.
The protesters in New York and Washington asked the US to impose sanctions against Pakistan for its role in promoting terrorism and sheltering terrorists.
In Tokyo, protesters held Indian flags and banners with images of the 26/11 terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed. They demanded the Pakistani authorities to take action against Lashkar-e-Taiba head Hafiz Saeed.
At least 166 people, including several Americans, were killed in the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai carried out by the Pakistan-sponsored Lashkar-e-Taiba, whose leaders are still in that country, and with the help of an American, Davood Sayed Gilani who used the name David Headley, and a Canadian, Tahawwur Rana. Headley and Rana have been tried and convicted in the US.
