LONDON: A petition launched on a government website, urging Britain to “strongly condemn” Pakistan for providing safe haven to terrorists, clocked more than 3,000 signatures on Saturday . If the petition, launched by one Naman Paropkari in the backdrop of the Uri attack, receives 10,000 signatures, the British government will respond to it. At 100,000 signatures, it will considered for debate in Parliament. The petition states: “Pakistan continues to double speak on issue of terrorism. It has aided & abetted enemies of the international coalition (of which Britain is a leading partner with the US) against terrorism.” It added, “Osama Bin Laden’s hideout was in Pakistan. Pakistan continues to harbour UN sanctioned terror networks.”
