Protests Erupt Near UK Parliament Against Pakistan's State-Sponsored Terrorism in Kashmir

Indian diaspora groups, including those from Jammu and Kashmir, protested near the UK Parliament to raise awareness about Pakistan's state-sponsored terrorism. The protest aimed to counter a 'propaganda event' organised by Pakistan. Community leaders highlighted human rights abuses and called for global intervention.

Indian diaspora groups, particularly those from Jammu and Kashmir, took to the streets near the UK Parliament complex in London to protest against Pakistan's state-sponsored terrorism. The demonstration aimed to counter a 'propaganda event' organised in a parliamentary room.

Several prominent community leaders, including Krishna Bhan, President of the Indo-European Kashmir Forum, addressed the gathering. They highlighted the longstanding plight of Kashmiri Hindus, overlooked in Western discourse about the region. The protest was a response to an 'All Parties Kashmir Conference' that protesters claimed furthered Pakistan's agenda while ignoring ground realities in Jammu and Kashmir.

'This effort exposes Pakistan's ongoing use of state-sponsored terrorism to destabilize the region and the human rights abuses in occupied territories,' read a statement. Protesters called on parliamentarians and global institutions to act against Pakistan's use of terrorism as state policy in Jammu and Kashmir. The event excluded key stakeholders like Kashmiri Hindus and other minority groups, further fuelling the protest.
