ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Foreign Office on Monday summoned Swiss Ambassador Thomas Coley to lodge strong protest over anti-Pakistan advertisement campaign in Geneva. In a letter, Permanent Representative Farrukh Amil said that, the use of Swiss soil by terrorist and violent secessionists for nefarious designs against Pakistan and its 200 million people is totally unacceptable. He demanded the Swiss government take strict action against the culprits involved in the act. He said that the terrorists or elements linked with terrorists operate openly in the peaceful and serene city of Geneva for their propaganda campaigns is a matter of grave concern. He said that Swiss authorities should be alert about presence of Balochistan Liberation Army terrorists or elements linked with such terrorists in Geneva. Farrukh Amil demanded investigations with a view to blocking its recurrence in future and expressed the hope that Swiss authorities will proceed against the local accomplices of the Balochistan Liberation Army who wittingly support the terrorist group.
