Washington, Sep 20:  As a wave of anti-US protest raged in Pakistan, America today asked its citizens to defer all non-essential travel to that country. 




Replacing the August 27 travel warning that had reminded US citizens of ongoing security concerns in Pakistan, the warning issued by the State Department says that in view of the larges scale anti-US protests it is not safe to travel to the country.

“The Department of State warns US citizens to defer all non-essential travel to Pakistan,” it said adding protests have taken place across Pakistan against the United States, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and NATO.  

There have also been widespread demonstrations and large political rallies condemning drone strikes, Pakistan's ongoing energy crisis, and Pakistan's July 3, 2012, decision to reopen NATO transit routes to Afghanistan.
