According to Aeroports de Paris website. PK 786 from London Heathrow is due to land at Paris CDG 2150 local time and depart for ISB at 2230. I suppose it will be picking up some of the passengers booked on PK770.

Wonder if AP-BGK has had a re-occurrence of the same problem as a few days ago at Heathrow! :-k

I wonder how the passengers of PK-786 and PK-788 feel - after paying for a non-stop flight to Islamabad and Karachi respectively from LHR. Why not just put the stranded passengers from Paris on other carriers and let the non-stop flights operate exactly as they were sold - NON-STOP!!!

AP-BGK is not doing CDG-MXP-ISB, it is coming Direct to LHE as PK 770. And it will operate PK 733 again to Paris tomorrow morning. And the fact that it has climbed direct to FL 390 shows that this flight isn't carrying much load.

AP-BGK was carrying 80 Milan-bound passengers when it developed technical fault at Paris, according to following news report.

They were shifted to hotel in Paris after staying at the airport for eight hours.

The report does not tell how those passengers were transported to Milan.

Though it has caused inconvenience to the outbound LHR pax, but sending the stranded PK 770 pax on other carriers might be a bit to much financially for PIA. If the LHR outbound pax reached their respective destination with a delay of just a couple of hours, it is bearable. On the other hand PK 770 passengers also reached their destination in not much delay, what if PIA didn't provide them hotels and they had to stay at airport till the next PIA flight departed. It would've been painful. So what they did wasn't much wrong. You should spare PIA on at least some occasions.
