Pakistan’s Foreign Office (FO) has spoken out against what it calls a growing wave of racist and Islamophobic comments targeting Pakistanis in the UK. They emphasized the close relationship between the two countries and the vital contributions of British Pakistanis to society.
The statement came after Elon Musk weighed in on the controversial term “Asian grooming gangs.” His remarks stirred up concerns that they could perpetuate harmful stereotypes about Pakistanis and fuel discrimination.
The FO’s response called for mutual respect and understanding, stressing the need for constructive dialogue instead of narratives that create division and hostility.
