A new petition filed on the official UK Parliament website calling on Britain to “strongly condemn” Pakistan for providing a safe haven for terrorists on Sunday crossed the threshold of 10,000 signatures, making it incumbent upon the UK Government to respond to it. The petition titled ‘UK Govt to strongly condemn Pakistan or providing safe haven for terrorists’ has now crossed the number of signatures required to make it incumbent upon the UK government to respond to it.
But the aim is to gather as many as 100,000 signatures by the March 29, 2017 deadline so that the issue has to be considered for a parliamentary debate in the House of Commons.
