A protest is due to be held in Leeds city centre today over the crisis in Kashmir.

More than 2,000 people are expected to gather in the city centre for a demonstration over ongoing tension in Kashmir, sparked after the Indian government revoked Article 370.


Article 370, a special clause in the Indian constitution which gave Kashmir significant autonomy and independence, was withdrawn on August 5.

(Article forgets to mention .....the region does not belongs to India to impose this law)

Campaigners are expected to take to the streets in Millennium Square at noon in protest over the move by the Indian government, according to Coun Mohammed Iqbal, who is attending the demonstration in solidarity with Leeds' Kashmiri community.


Others expected to turn out for the protest include Leeds North East MP Fabian Hamilton, Leeds North West MP Alex Sobel, Leeds Central MP Hilary Benn, Leeds East MP Richard Burgon and Bradford West MP Naz Shah.

Mr Benn formally expressed his concerns about Kashmir after the withdrawal by writing to the Secretary of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on behalf of his Kashmiri constituents.

Writing on his website, Mr Benn said: "I am gravely concerned by India’s unilateral decision to withdraw the region’s autonomy – by revoking Article 370 of India’s constitution – and to put the area into what is, in effect, military lockdown.

"As you will be aware, politicians have been put under house arrest, a curfew has been imposed and telecommunications and internet connections have been shut down. It is unclear exactly what India’s intentions are now beyond direct rule, but there is widespread anger at its decision, without any consultation, to remove the rights and devolved decision-making that have been enjoyed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.



"I have urged the Secretary of State to ask India to reverse the revocation of Article 370 and lift the curfew and other restrictions so that talks between all parties, including representatives of the Kashmiri people, can take place. I have also requested that this matter be referred to the United Nations Security Council given the potential threat to regional peace and security."

Pakistani PM to raise Kashmir issue at UN General Assembly
https://abcnews.go.com/Internationa...raise-kashmir-issue-general-assembly-65593508

Pakistan's prime minister assured residents of disputed Kashmir on Friday that he will expose years-long Indian oppression and human rights violations in the region when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly this month.

Imran Khan made the comments in his first speech to a rally in Pakistan-held Kashmir since the revocation of the special status of the disputed Himalayan region by India on Aug. 5. Some 20,000 people took part.

Khan also requested that rally-goers refrain from marching toward the heavily militarized Line of Control that separates Kashmir between Pakistani and Indian sides, saying they should wait for his call.

"Don't go to the (Line of Control) until I ask you and I will tell you when to do it," he said.


Khan was attempting to calm down angry youths who this month clashed with police in Pakistan-held Kashmir upon being stopped from marching toward the frontier, where Pakistani and Indian troops are in close quarters.

The appeal to angry youths came days after thousands of unarmed young people marched toward the frontier to protest the lockdown in Indian-administered Kashmir, triggering clashes with police.

Pakistani and Indian troops often exchange fire, causing troops and civilian casualties.

The rally also comes a day after the country's military said Indian fire killed one of its soldiers in Kashmir in the latest cease-fire violation.

Khan urged the world community to pressure India to give the right of self-determination to Kashmiris.

In his speech to rallygoers, Khan said if the people in Kashmir were given the right to decide their future, his country would respect their decision, saying they have faced hardships resulting from a curfew that has been in place in Indian-administered Kashmir since last month.

Tensions between Pakistan and India have increased since Aug. 5, when New Delhi downgraded the autonomy of Kashmir, which is divided between Pakistan and India but coveted by both in its entirety.

The two neighbors fought two of their three wars over control of Kashmir since they gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947.

They nearly went to war again in February, when a suicide bombing in Indian-administered Kashmir killed 40 paramilitary soldiers. India at the time responded by bombing an alleged militant training camp in Pakistan. Pakistan then said it shot down two Indian air force planes and captured an Indian pilot who was later released

Why is google blocking info on Kashmir??

Because so many bhartis have successfully infested google, twitter, Facebook and other social forums.

We as Americans of Pakistani origin have responsibility to educate ourselves/our kids and join such posts and politics to take these low lives head on.

Images captured from Twitter ...not from website which claimed to be posting live
Still need better awareness of Kashmir's issue so that mainstream support grows


  • Human Rights group UK
  • Liberty groups who discuss issue of Democracy
  • Football stars , Influencers

There are many goras who don't like browns, and there are also many who don't like hindus and then there are many who hates Jews and many who hate muslims. If bhartis and Jews can be successful in US, there is no excuse for us Pakistanis.

Well I think we need to build greater support , in local communities
this is not a white/brown/black issue

  • This is Imprisonment of 12 Million Humans

The freedom struggle for Kashmiri and Sikh (Khalistan) , is a issue which is a real concern for every Democratic country on planet

  • Kashmiri have been looking for freedom for 70 years
  • Khaslistani Sikh have been looking for Independence , as a state for 70 years as well

Yeah the Gora aside. Our job is to work hard to best of our capacity, make a ton of dua and leave rest on God. My formula at least. It has got me through a lot of difficult situations I got into because of myself and my sins.

Manzil milegi bhatak kr hi sahi
Gumrah to wo hain jo ghar se nikle hi nahi
