Taimur Rahat doesn’t seem to be in a conciliatory mood. Neither does Pakistan as a whole. The UK should have expelled him for this gesture, but that would require someone in the UK government to have some spine, and no one does.
“Pak diplomat makes throat-slit gesture at UK protest over Pahalgam attack,” by Rimjhim Singh, Business Standard, April 26, 2025:
Colonel Taimur Rahat, Pakistan’s Army and Air Advisor at its High Commission in London, was captured on video making threatening gestures at Indian protesters gathered there to condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, that claimed the lives of 26 tourists.
In the footage, Colonel Rahat can be seen holding a poster of Indian Air Force Group Captain Abhinandan Varthaman. He then is seen making a gesture as though he is slitting the throats of Indian protesters. The video, which quickly went viral, shows him initially holding the poster with both hands before lowering one hand to make the throat-slitting motion towards the protesters.
Following the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, more than 500 Indian nationals gathered outside the Pakistan High Commission on Friday to protest. The demonstrators held placards, Indian flags, and banners to express their grief over the tragedy and to demand justice for the victims. They raised slogans condemning terrorism and criticised Pakistan for allegedly sheltering terror groups responsible for the attack.
In a statement, the event organisers remarked, “Today’s protest was a call for justice and accountability. However, in a deeply troubling and disgraceful act, officials at the Pakistan High Commission were seen playing loud celebratory music during the protest. This tone-deaf response added further insult to an already painful situation. While the world mourns the victims, the high commission’s actions reflected a disturbing lack of empathy.”…

The Brits should, but won’t, make him persona non grata.

Ah the Pakistanis never disappoint us in acting badly – in so many ways.
They have no idea of subtlety and even in their deceit they are clumsy. They let themselves down time and time again, and desperately need the proposed “Islamophobia” law to protect them from criticism.
For an interesting and hilarious insight about Pakistanis in the UK see:
Leo Kearse. You tube “Why are there so many Pakistanis on Britain?”
Leo is a Scottish comedian with a very sharp wit backed with a talent for drawing information together in an entertaining way.
Enjoy.

I am sure there will be more clashes now between Indians and the Pakistanis in Britain.
Many British commentators have been long saying that by importing the third world in great numbers we are importing foreign wars.
There were nasty clashes between Hindus and Muslims in Leicester two years ago and a video exists of Mo Hijab talking about Hindu’s acting like Gangstas and making threats towards them.
See Tousi TV for more on this clash in London outside the Pakistani embassy.
You will see a paucity of police and the fear and confusion in their faces as they referee between brown and brown and no ” far right” to arrest.
I gather some arrests were made and they were Indians.
Orwell would no doubt have commented that while all ethnic minorities are equal some are more equal than others.
Online comments from native Brits are firmly supportive of the Indians which just goes to show how racist we are.

But it was such a peaceful throat-slitting gesture.

Is Rahat wearing something on his head (a rahat?) or is he just a lowbrow?
Very low, about one inch.
England Invaded says
Even more wog battles coming to the streets of the UK. As if there aren’t enough.
Can’t see any involved with turmoil in the UK being jailed as with Brits when they protest about this type of situation inflicted upon us.
In brief, I sincerely hope these turds wipe each other off the face of the earth in their home countries and in Europe.

Wait–you *want* Muslims to wipe out non-Muslim Indians? Pretty ugly stuff, actually–and pious Muslims target Westrners just as they do Indians. We ar all “filthy Infidels” to them.
