Kashmi­r Solida­rity Day observ­ed in variou­s parts of United Kingdo­mBIRMINGHAM: Kashmir Solidarity Day was observed in various parts of the United Kingdom (UK) with a pledge that British Kashmiris along with Pakistanis will continue to support the right to self-determination for the oppressed people of Indian Occupied Kashmir. Underscoring the vast impact of such conferences in the UK, Bhat said that the support of people around the world serve as a beam of hope for Kashmiris who suffer New Delhi’s brutal clampdown for over six months. “The world listens, accepts and respects voice of the people from the UK demanding justice for the subdued people of Occupied Kashmir,” he added. TeK UK President Raja Fahim Kayani said that the people in the UK want to know about the lockdown and communication blackout in the occupied region since August 5. “The human chain in Stratford Road Sparkhillan is an ample proof that people of the UK are with IOK brethren in their struggle to freedom,” speakers from TeK UK and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said.
