Expressing Pakistan's "deep concern" over the protests, the statement said, "We have noted the comments of the Indian leadership to carry out an investigation into the incident.
"The government of Pakistan calls for a thorough and proper investigation to be carried out expeditiously and those responsible for this act to be brought to justice."
