A senior Pakistan Army officer in London, Colonel Taimur Rahat, sparked outrage after being caught on video making a threatening throat-slit gesture towards protesters outside the Pakistan High Commission. Over 500 Indian and Jewish community members gathered peacefully to condemn the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. Protesters accused Pakistan of supporting terror groups and demanded UK government action. Organisers called the gesture "provocation" and slammed the High Commission for playing celebratory music during the protest. Indo-Jewish groups also expressed solidarity with India, linking the Pahalgam attack to global Islamist radicalisation threats.
