Thousands of people supporting the Kashmir cause came out on the streets of London Sunday to show solidarity with the citizens of Indian-held Kashmir in their decades-long struggle for the right of self-determination.
In this regard, “London Million March” started from London’s Trafalgar Square and concluded at 10 Downing Street to protest against human rights violations by Indian troops in the occupied Kashmir.
Barrister Mahmood spearheaded the event which not only highlighted the grave human tragedy in Indian occupied Kashmir but also called on Britain to play its role in helping the Kashmiris obtain their legitimate right of self-determination.
“We have gathered here to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir and to divert attention of the international community towards Kashmir issue,” former prime minister of Azad Kashmir, Barrister Sultan said during the march. He said this struggle would continue till the independence of Kashmir.
Barrister Sultan has also demanded of the United Nations to take notice of the killing of the innocent Kashmiri people as a result of firing on the Line of Control. He also demanded that the Indian prime minister instead of issuing provocative statements should withdraw 800,000 Indian forces deployed in the disputed territory.
Barrister Sultan and Andrew Griffiths MP, chair of the All Parities Kashmir Committee in the House of Commons also addressed a press conference in the British parliament ahead of the march.
Besides, a petition will also be submitted asking the British government to impress upon India to resolve the Kashmir dispute.
In a statement, Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Gilani declaring London Million March a much needed step stated that it was to give world a message that terrorism has no direct or indirect link to the Kashmir Liberation Movement and the people of Kashmir were struggling for their genuine right.
A dauble standard policy adopted by Pakistsn and trying to seek international favour. On the other hand giving training to terrorist and making safe heaven for them. World by now should understand the basic motive behind this stupid mokery march in London.
the atrocities wreaked by Indian authorities in Kashmir so high that it needs condemnation from all round the world as well from human loving citizens of India. I myself being Kashmiri, have witnessed cruelty of Indian authorities.
I hope Indian people will very soon understand this and come out in support for Kashmiri people

This article is such a sham. The picture is a random picture that is also featured in this blog from 2013 9http://bronwyncair.blogspot.com/).
The pic is not from the march itself. As mentioned above by shak, it is taken from here: http://www.bronwyncair.blogspot.com
This a not a picture from the march. Asusual typical pakistanis, congenital liars.
The muslims those who made mistake of migrating to Pakistan during partisan time are still called Muhajirs and are ill treated there. Same will happen to Kashmiri's if they go with Pakistan.
Please do not mislead by misconceived perceptions. My PARENTS MIGRATED FROM UP in 1947 and i am really grateful to them. We are very happy in Pakistan and no one ill treats us. The Mohajir term is used by a political party for her vested interests.
