Videos of a fight between Egyptian and Kyrgyz students went viral on social media, inciting groups of locals to target foreign students—including Pakistanis—and igniting the violence in Bishkek on Friday night.

Roughly 6,000 of the approximately 10,000 Pakistani students registered in Kyrgyzstan are in Bishkek, according to government estimates.

After the mob violence in Bishkek, Pakistan has so far used a number of flights to return nearly 4,500 students.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad today, the foreign minister said the committee will also look at how the Pakistani mission in Bishkek helps students.

According to Dar, the committee will analyze all of the facts and developments at Bishkek and work with the Kyrgyz authorities. “In two weeks, the committee will submit its report,” he declared.

He continued by saying that the government would not prevent any Bishkek student from wanting to return to Pakistan.

Dar traveled to Kyrgyzstan on Tuesday and asked how Shahzaib, a textile worker from Pakistan who was hurt in the recent Bishkek mob violence, was doing.

According to a news release from the Foreign Office Spokesperson, the deputy prime minister was met at the hospital by Alymkadyr Beishenaliev, the minister of health, and Edil Baisalov, the deputy chairman of the Kyrgyz Cabinet of Ministers.

Shahzaib had said he wanted to go back to Pakistan, and the deputy prime minister had asked how he was doing. The deputy prime minister made a special request, and the hospital officials granted it, allowing him to leave and receive additional care in Pakistan.

Aside from that, Ishaq Dar met with his Kyrgyz counterpart in Kazakhstan for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers meeting.

Afterwards, the two ministers traveled to Bishkek from Astana together.
