Excerpt:
AJK President Masood Khan Wednesday said that despite India’s unbridled coercion during the last 70 years of subjugation, the people of Jammu & Kashmiri have defeated the writ of the Indian government as they want freedom. ...
The most lethal weapon India against Kashmiris was traditional and public diplomacy by which it was systematically distorting facts and a false picture of the situation in Kashmir, he said. “They project the unarmed and innocent Kashmiri civilians as terrorists, whereas the fact is that Indian state terrorists are killing Kashmiris. The Kashmiris have no means to defend themselves against Indian state terrorism,” he said.
He urged the Diaspora to raise the issue of Kashmir with their members of parliament, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the British prime minister. The issue be raised and discussed at the floor of the House of Commons, he said. The people of Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir, as well as the diaspora community, will demonstrate unity to internationalise the Kashmir issue because the bilateral track had proved to be ineffective.
