British High Commissioner condemns Quetta attack, calls it divisive act

Jane Marriott says these actions do nothing but sow the seeds of division

British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Jane Marriott, has condemned the deadly bombing at Quetta Railway Station, stating that such acts serve only to sow division.

Expressing her condolences over the tragic loss of life, Marriott called the attack a "horrific" event that claimed the lives of 25 individuals and left over 50 injured.

"My sympathies are with the families of the victims and the injured," said Marriott, adding that the United Kingdom stands with Pakistan in condemning terrorism. "These actions do nothing but sow the seeds of division," she stressed.

The suicide attack, which occurred at Quetta Railway Station, targeted a crowd of passengers, and also resulted in injuries to two members of the railway police, Head Constables Ghulam Rasool Jamali and Bhoral Khan.

Marriott reaffirmed Britain's support for Pakistan in its ongoing fight against extremism and violence, highlighting the importance of unity and resilience in the face of such challenges.
