We demand New Delhi to free people of Kashmir by ending the occupation of Kashmir: Ali Raza Syed
BRUSSELS, Oct 26 (SABAH): A protest demonstration would be arranged tomorrow (Sunday) by Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) on the occasion of day of Indian Occupation of Jammu and Kashmir (27th October) in front of Indian Embassy in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and based in other parts of the world observe Black Day on 27th October every year to protest against the illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India.
In a statement issued in Brussels, Chairman Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Ali Raza Syed said, we demand New Delhi to free people of Kashmir by ending the occupation of Kashmir and give them right of self-determination.
A large number of Kashmiris and their supporters are expected to attend the demonstration to be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, 27th October 2024 in front of Indian Embassy in Brussels. Some of non-governmental Kashmiri organizations based in Europe will also collaborate in organizing the protest. Ali Raza Syed said, 27th October 1947 was the darkest day in history of Jammu and Kashmir when India in total violation of all international norms and human values illegally landed its troops in the state against the will of the Kashmiri people.
Chairman KC-EU further said, by staging this protest, we want to send a message to the Indian government that Kashmiris do not accept India’s illegal occupation. The Kashmiri people want to decide their future in a free environment. It is sad to say that India claims to be the largest democracy in the world but it suppresses the rights of Kashmiris and kills the innocent people in the occupied valley. Our brothers and sisters in the Occupied Kashmir have been victims of Indian persecution for above seven and half decades. On a daily basis, Indian authorities are attempting to crush the Kashmiris. Indian police and security forces commit violence and create fear among the people of Kashmir.
He said, the international community should understand that peace in Kashmir is connected to the whole region. If Kashmir is witness of peace, the whole region would be witness of peace and prosperity.
Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed made it clear that Kashmiri nation is not ready to compromise on their right to self determination. He also urged the world’s major powers to help the people of Jammu and Kashmir, struggling for their right to self-determination. A peaceful resolution of issue of Kashmir, which is long lasting desire of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, should be achieved.
