BIRMINGHAM July 26, (APP)- Pakistan’s Deputy High Commissioner in the UK Asif Durrani has said his country will continue its political, diplomatic and moral support to Kashmiri people’s just struggle for their right to self determination.Speaking at a conference on Kashmir here last evening, he termed India’s occupation of Kashmir morally and legally illegitimate saying that India will not be able to sustain this occupation for long time. He said Pakistan seeks peaceful and negotiated settlement of Kashmir issue and it will continue to oppose India’s move to get permanent seat at UNSC until it implement Security Council’s resolutions on Kashmir.
The Deputy High Commissioner also eulogized the concerted efforts of
Tehreek-e-Kashmir to advocate Kashmir issue with persistency. Earlier,
the Kashmiri political leaders resolved to strengthen the struggle for
right to self determination of Kashmiri people and called upon Pakistan
to adopt a realistic policy for liberation of Kashmir from Indian
subjugation.
“Resistance movement against Indian occupation has continued for past
two decades and it is as strong as it was twenty years ago,” said Amir,

inaugural session of the conference.
The conference held at Spark Brook Conference Centre of UK’s second
largest city was attended by representatives of Kashmiri organizations
from UK, Europe, USA and political leaders from Azad Kashmir and
Pakistan.
Rejecting the talks between India and Pakistan under present
circumstances, Turrabi said bilateral talks between the two countries
without Kashmiri representative will yield no result. He said Pakistan
is fighting a war against terrorism and as a result Kashmir issue
appears to have been put on the back burner.
The JI chief suggested that elected legislative assemblies from two
parts of divided Kashmir should pass a resolution simultaneously to
show exit to India from the soil of Kashmir.
Expressing his regret over political turmoil in Azad Kashmir, Turrabi
demanded restoration of real role of the base camp of Kashmir freedom
movement. He said change of four Prime Minister in four years is a
shameful act on the part of politicians in Azad Kashmir and urged the
Kashmiri community in UK to hold accountable such power hungry
politicians.
Speaking on the occasion, member of the upper British House of Lord,
Lord Nazir Ahmed called for a more pro-active policy on Kashmir by the
present Pakistani Government.
He said Kashmir must have been a priority issue at the recently concluded India-Pakistan foreign ministers talks in Islamabad.
While appreciating efforts of Tehreek-e-Kashmir in highlighting Kashmir issue in UK and Europe, Lord Nazir suggested that UK and European Union should jointly hold an International
Conference on Kashmir to discuss different options for peaceful
settlement of this conflict.
President, Tehreek-e-Kashmir (TeK) UK Mohammad Ghalib thanked the
delegates from all over UK and Europe and assured full support to the
struggling people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said TeK with the help of
Pakistani and Kashmiri extended all possible support to our Kashmiri
brothers and sisters and same will continue in future.
Presenting a report on gross violation of human rights in Kashmir at
the hands of Indian army, Human rights activist Dr. Anjanta Chatterjee
told the conference that civil administration and judiciary in Occupied
Kashmir is forced to act under Indian occupation army and this was the
reason that outside world is unaware of the grave situation of human
rights in Kashmir.
She said world human rights bodies and independent media is not allowed to visit Kashmir valley while extra-judicial killings, killings in custody, fake encounters, cases of rape and gang rape of women at the hands of the personnel of
military and paramilitary often either go unreported or misreported.
President, World Kashmir Freedom Movement, Dr. Ghulam Nabi Mir said
people of Jammu and Kashmir are demanding their inalienable right to
decide their future and they will not accept anything short of right to
self determination. He said Syed Ali Geelani is undisputed leader of
Kashmiri people who had fought Indian imperialistic rule throughout his
life.
Chairman, Kashmir Centre London ,Prof Nazir Ahmed Shawl said people of Jammu and Kashmir are real arbitrator of their fate and only they have right to decide their own fate. He said India will have to concede before the demand of Kashmiri people by vacating the land of Kashmir.
Vice President, World Kashmir Freedom Movement, Nazir Ahmed Querashi
said it was the blood of Kashmiri youth that had brought Kashmir to the
limelight. He stressed the need of complete unity in the ranks and
files of Kashmir’s political forces.
President Tehreek-e-Kashmir Scotland, Hanif Raja described UNSC
resolutions on Kashmir as basic document that recognize Kashmiri
peoples’ right to self determination and urged all political forces
from both parts of Kashmir to get united on one point agenda of the
implementation of those resolutions.

Yaqoob addressing the conference said unresolved Kashmir issue is not
only a cause of instability in South Asia but it has posed a serious
threat to the global peace.
