The Pakistan government has expressed serious concern over threats issued to Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir from the United Kingdom soil and has demanded action against those involved.
The strong reservations have been conveyed regarding social media activities linked to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the UK after a video allegedly showed protesters openly issuing death threats against the field marshal.
Pakistan has called for the identification of those responsible and for legal action to be taken, citing the misuse of British soil for incitement to violence.
A provocative video was posted on December 23, 2025, from PTI UK’s official X account, in which demonstrators were seen openly threatening to kill Field Marshal Asim Munir.
According to UK media reports, protesters gathered for a demonstration organised by PTI Bradford and Yorkshire and Humberside outside the Pakistan Consulate in Bradford.
In the footage, a woman, while delivering a speech in Urdu, was heard making inflammatory remarks, including references to targeting him in a car bomb attack.
The woman said, “I think there are not only a few left. In fact, only one remains. He just has not claimed divinity. He has not claimed to be God. All other acts have already been done. The one who was blown up in an aircraft, will be blown up in a car. This is how the end of such people always is. Because the curses of so many women, of grieving mothers, are upon them. We have full faith in our Allah. Imran Khan is in prison, and things happen by their hands. He is under their mercy. They cannot kill him. His life and death are in Allah’s hands. If Allah wills. As much as you believe in your ‘Wardi’, we believe in Allah even more.”
The video was subsequently amplified by PTI-linked social media accounts and shared further from official platforms, widening its reach.
PTI UK protesters outside the consulate were seen chanting slogans calling for the death of Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. The chants included threats suggesting he should be killed in a car bomb attack, which observers described as extremely unsettling.
The protest, initially framed as a demonstration in support of PTI founder Imran Khan, soon turned into a gathering speaking directly against the army chief.
A video shared by PTI UK during the protest showed participants making direct threats against Field Marshal Asim Munir, including comments about targeting him through a car bomb attack, raising serious concerns over incitement and security.
