Islamabad reacts after UK minister's ‘British Pakistani men rape…' remark
Hindustan TimesPakistan on Wednesday refuted UK's home secretary Suella Braverman's allegations that British-Pakistani men are part of grooming gangs that “pursue, drug, rape, and harm vulnerable English girls”, calling them as "discriminatory" and “xenophobic.” Suella Braverman reportedly told Sky News in an interview last week that groups of men, almost all British Pakistanis, are involved in the sexual abuse of children and young women. Islamabad's foreign office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that she painted a "highly misleading picture, signalling the intent to target and treat British Pakistanis differently". Braverman reportedly told Sky News in an interview last week that groups of men, almost all British Pakistanis, are involved in the sexual abuse of children and young women. “What's clear is that what we've seen is a practice whereby vulnerable White English girls, sometimes in care, sometimes in challenging circumstances, are being pursued and raped, drugged, and harmed by gangs of British-Pakistani men who work in child abuse rings or networks,” she said.
