BRUSSELS (SANA): A large number of Sikhs and Kashmiris held protest demonstration in front of European parliament in Brussels.

The protest was earlier announced to be held in front of Indian Embassy in Brussels but the embassy under the pretext of security issue, called the huge security forces in front and around the embassy premises which caused changing the main venue of the protest demonstration. The protestors could not forward from EU parliament towards Indian Embassy due to large scale security arrangement near the embassy.

The peaceful demonstration led by Sikh Khalistan leader Jag Dish Singh, Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed and others was jointly organized by Sikh and Kashmiri organizations including Khalistan and Babar Singh Khalsa movements and Kashmir Council EU.

On the occasion, Chairman Kashmir Council EU, Ali Raza Syed said, we Kashmiris also support the oppressed Sikh people in India and condemned atrocities against them.

The demonstrators urged the international community to pressurize India to stop exploitation and abuses against the Sikhs, Kashmiris and other oppressed nations in India.

They also asked for upholding the possible death sentence to a Sikh figure namely Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar, who was on death row in India for several years. Sikh leaders also expressed their solidarity with the innocent people in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).

Talking about situation in IOK, Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed urged the United Nations to take serious notice of massive human rights abuses specially extra-judicial killings being committed by Indian troops in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).
“Indian forces are involved in the massive human rights abuses in IHK and It is our duty to inform the world community about the violations,” he said.

Welcoming the current visit of UN Rapporteur, Christof Heyns to IOK, Ali Raza Syed said, the mission should meet all walks of life to find the facts on ground.
The UN Rapporteur, Christof Heyns, has arrived in Indian Held Kashmir on the fact-finding mission on March 26 along with his team.
The participants of the demonstration which was supported by the a number of members of EU parliament raised anti Indian slogans and condemns the atrocities committed by the Indian forces in IHK.

Ali Raza Syed said, “Indian military forces are involved in the most horrible kind of anti human actitivities in Jammu and Kashmir.”
He said, by using the black laws, the Indian forces are involved in the most horrible kind of anti human activities in the held valley to exploit the innocent people of Jammu and Kashmir and we urge the United
Nation to pressurize India in repeal of black laws in the held valley.

Chairman Kashmir Council EU also asked European Union to send its fact findings mission to the Indian Held Kashmir without any delay and play an effective role for peaceful solution of Kashmir dispute.
Speakers stressed that Indian which denying the rights of Kashmiris and Sikhs and other has false claim of largest democracy.
We shall continue our voice against the atrocities by Indian forces in Kashmir and other areas including Nagaland, they said.

why dont they announce their independence officially this help them to get their rights.

It is such a shame that western press supports India as its proxy and hardly mention the abuse faced by these oppressed people in india
 
.
I did not knew Sikhs were nation. Infact India today is ruled by Sikh and Kashmiri family. We should complain instead.

Good to see India's influence and importance is growing at such a great pace…..such a small issues are demonstrated before EU and is being discussed in international threads…this used to happen only against big powers like US and recently against China….

My dads family is Sikh. They live in Punjab. They are happy living in India. Things are getting better for them. The people outside the country "fighting" for Khalistan are opportunists who want to line their own pockets and would never put their own lives on the line for any cause because they are cowards.

As for the Kashmiris, if they want to live in Pakistan they can leave, and if they want an interdependent country they can keep dreaming, just like Balochs, Tibetans, and Uighurs do.

every time a thread comes up like this i always have a good laugh the Pakistanis obviously don't realize the Khalistan movement is dead it died in 1992 as a result of the Punjab police eradicating all of the Sikh radical groups i recently visited Punjab and had a nice chat with my uncle on his farmland or Zameen about Khalistan he said that there is no point of a separate Sikh nation because they are fine with India the people living in villages and cities eat well and sleep well..... besides the reasons for Khalistan movement were exploitation of Sikhs by the national gov't (mainly Indira Gandhi) while this is true that btch is long dead and a Sikh is the PM of India today.... Punjab continues to be ranked Indias best state and there has been no militant activity in the state since the early 90's


so Pakistanis you may try and brainwash Sikh youth into believing your propaganda however the majority of us know better and will stop any kind of frivolous attempt of separation be it Kashmir or Punjab.

The Khalistan movement may not have a strong hold in Punjab but in places like Canada, UK, Europe etc it has a presence.

Half of Pakistan is Punjab and Punjabi people of Pakistan have a great cultural Bond and affinity with the Sikh people. The Partition of Punjab was the tragedy of 1947. We would have loved to have our Sikh brothers on our side so we could keep Punjab intact and enjoy our common cultural heritage together.

Hmmmm.. that is actually true for this side of border too. Almost all north Indians are related to each others culturally, racially,ethnically politically so it is natural they will stay together.

yeah its dead in Punjab do you realize what the Khalistan movement did to Punjab? nobody would even dare to announce their public support for radicals and militants because they will "disappear" just like many innocent Sikhs did in the late 80's and early 90's

that kind of fails as an argument mate . as the only people who want khalistan are not living in the country where its supposed to be . :)
by the way khalistan wants Lahore as capital . so do remember that .
