Kashmir Million March: 'Indian agents' tried to stop my brother, says Bilawal's sister

'Million March' comes a cropper in London

London, Oct 26 (IANS/RAY) Pakistan's efforts to stage a march against Indian human rights violations, with a million people on the streets of London proved to be a monumental failure. Far from a seven figure, the march's attendance did not even reach five figures.

One of the organisers claimed the march was "to protest against human rights violations by Indian troops in occupied Kashmir". They planned to submit a petition asking the British government "to impress upon India to resolve the Kashmir dispute".

A few thousand men, women in hijabs and even children waved Pakistani flags behind police barricades at the British capital's Trafalgar Square. Barely a few days ago, the save place packed with audiences to watch on-stage entertainment in celebration of Diwali.

Only some of them assembled there walked down the thoroughfare of Whitehall towards Downing Street -- the official residence of the British prime minister -- for presenting a petition.

"Unfortunately we do not provide crowd figures," said London's Metropolitan Police Service, popularly known as Scotland Yard.

Unofficial Indian estimates put the gathering at no more than 2,000.

Bilawal Bhutto, leader of the Pakistan People's Party, briefly participated in the protest. Geo News, a Pakistani TV news channel, put out a report that "Indian agents" attempted to prevent Bhutto from taking part, without revealing the the source of the news.

The TV news channel ARY News conspicuously made no mention of the attendance.

The websites of Pakistan's three leading daily newspapers, the Dawn, the News and the Express Tribune, until well after the march had concluded carried no story at all on the event.

BC can go and cry like the little b*tch he is.

We're all for Kashmir's rights but we're against BS politicians playing BS games with our brains and using Kashmir as some sort of bait to attract public attention.

Kabhi mauqa milla to kuttay (zardari) ki aulaad ko jootay maar ke bhagaon ga.

This kind of response to politicians at the Kashmir March is a direct result of the awareness raised by the sit-ins in Islamabad.
People are now much more open about their contempt for politicians who are perceived to be playing typical political games; such things are no longer just tolerated in silence.
This is a result of the public boldness of the dharnas in Islamambad, and the outspokenness of their criticism of the political culture. This has set an example that inspires others to do similar things.
 
Looks like the so called million march turned into a Pakistani political circus. :lol:
 
So, a million march became a thousands march.. :lol: :lol:

Maximum 2 thousand ( actually from the photos gives a rough count of 1500) after weeks of organising and free bussing in from all over UK. IF you count the bystanders gawping then maybe 2050 persons. My street parties are bigger.:sarcastic:
