Pakistan's president has been urged to cancel his visit to the UK after David Cameron said parts of the country "exported terrorism".
President Asif Ali Zardari (http://indepth.news.sky.com/InDepth/topic/Asif%20Ali%20Zardari) is due to visit the UK next week to meet the British Prime Minister but opposition politicians are calling for him to cancel the trip.
Mr Cameron caused fury when he said Pakistan must not be allowed to "look both ways" in the fight against terrorism or to "promote the export of terror whether to India, whether to Afghanistan or to anywhere else in the world".
In protest, a group of demonstrators burnt an effigy of Mr Cameron (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Pakistan-Demonstrators-Burn-Effigy-Of-PM-David-Cameron-In-Terror-Row/Article/201007415674110?lpos=World_News_Article_Related_Co ntent_Region_1&lid=ARTICLE_15674110) on the streets of Karachi on Saturday.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani (http://indepth.news.sky.com/InDepth/topic/Yousaf%20Raza%20Gilani) said the remarks were particularly "galling" because they were made while Mr Cameron was visiting regional rival India.
http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content/StaticFile/jpg/2009/Mar/Week4/15246884.jpg President Zardari is due to talk with Mr Cameron at Chequers on Friday
The Observer reported that at a speech in the Punjab province, Mr Gilani said: "In India, he (Mr Cameron) has given a statement that we in Pakistan promote terrorism.
"We want to say to him, we've had good relations with you for 60 years.
"In India, you (Mr Cameron) talk about terrorism but you don't say anything about Kashmir. You forgot about the human rights abuses going on there.
"You should have spoken about that too, so that we in Pakistan would have been
satisfied."
Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, Khalid Mahmood, was equally critical of Mr Cameron's decision to make his comments while in India.
He told Sky News: "To make such hostile remarks against one country when you're in the home of another country that doesn't have friendly relationships ignites a huge difficulty."
I don't believe Mr Cameron will apologise. It may not have been an absolutely thought-through strategy but it was quite deliberate and he repeated it several times.

But Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said President Zardari should not boycott Britain and Mr Cameron's comments were a "misperception".
He said Mr Zardari should instead use the visit to the UK to explain the situation to Mr Cameron during talks at Chequers on Friday.
Following Mr Cameron's speech aides insisted he was referring to elements within the country, rather than its government.
But Mr Cameron (http://indepth.news.sky.com/InDepth/topic/David%20Cameron) did not withdraw his comment, insisting he had a duty to speak "clearly and plainly" about the threat of terror.

Sky's political editor Adam Boulton said: "I don't believe Mr Cameron will apologise. It may not have been an absolutely thought-through strategy but it was quite deliberate and he repeated it several times.
"Mr Cameron would say that he's telling things as they are and that there is a problem with Pakistan in terms of its involvement with the Taliban.
"All this is in the context of him really saying that he wants to get British forces out of Aghanistan as soon as possible.
"That said, these remarks are highly controversial and opposition politicians are clearly going to try and say this is irresponsible and offensive to people from Pakistan in this country.
"It's a deliberate political hot potato kicked off by Mr Cameron."
