Attack on British TV Team

A news item appearing in the Dawn revealed that a British based TV Documentary team, which is in Baluchistan province of Pakistan to film the Tribal Traditions have been attacked and four of their local team members have been hurt. The team was granted permission to shoot the documentary by provincial government and hence it was the sole responsibility of the government to provide them complete protection. Moreover, i think the local people should have welcome them with an open arms and facilitated them in shooting the documentary.

We the team at Pro Pakistan condemn this incident.
