India announced that all visas issued to Pakistani nationals will be revoked from April 27 and advised Indians residing in Pakistan to return home at the earliest, as tensions between the two countries escalated over the Pahalgam terror attack, in which the perpetrators are beleived have links with Pakistan.
Throat slitting gesture of man in Pak
Delhi minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa also lashed out at the Pakistan Army official for making a throat slitting gesture to the Indian community protesters in UK and warned people of Pakistan to "save their neck first," adding that an "apocalypse is hovering over your head."
Sirsa's statement came after Colonel Taimur Rahat, the Pakistan Army and Air Advisor at their High Commission in London, made a throat-slitting gesture while holding a poster of Indian Air Force (IAF) Group Captain Abhinandan Varthaman in front of the Indian diaspora protesting in the UK against the Pahalgam terror attack.
Slamming the Pakistani official, Sirsa warned, "Those who were threatening outside the embassy, you will be identified one by one. You will be held accountable in England, too. Be careful."
Referring to a viral video of a man taking cake to Pakistan High Commission in Delhi just after the Pahalgam terror attack, Sirsa said, "They are taking cakes inside the Pakistan Embassy (in Delhi). We do not need to say anything to such people, our army is capable of giving them a fitting reply."
