WASHINGTON: Scores of Pakistani-Americans protested outside the Indian Embassy, demanding an end to Indian intervention in Balochistan.
The hour-long protest in the heart of the US capital brought Pakistani-Americans from the districts of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland.
Some of them were carrying pictures of the Indian spy arrested recently in Balochistan.
They regretted that India was encouraging separatist elements in Pakistan and urged the US government to use its influence to stop this intervention. This peaceful demonstration in one of Washington’s busiest areas drew the attention of hundreds of people.

India is interfering in pakistan with USA blessing , the good things is Pakistani army is aware of that and very well prepared for both. We all hope they change their interests elsewhere otherwise the conflict will be real disastrous for everyone involved. Hopefully, super prayers come to their senses sooner than later....

It is better if Indo-Pak relations are not made a problem in western cities. In the US, in particular, it will disadvantage Pakistan.

Pakistan Lobby should meet key US Senators and Congressmen and provide them proof against India. Pakistanis should also be active on intellectual forums where negative discussions on Pakistan, led by both Indians and Americans, are conducted. Carnegie Endowment is one such forum.

@Krish then why India complains to US everytime Kashmiris fight indian occupation. Don't misuse Indians favours for its own selfish reasons, by playing double standards with them. They know 100% what India is upto as they have penetrated RAW. US is just playing both sides, because in conflict there is advantages to be gained. Better India resolve kashmir and live in peace with pakistan.
