LONDON: Current and former British and European Union lawmakers have called on the world to honour and respect the human rights of the Kashmiri people and settle the Kashmir dispute as per the wishes of the Kashmiri people.
“Kashmiri sufferings must come to an end,” said Conservative MP Steve Baker at a webinar in connection with International Human Rights Day organised by the Tehreek-e-Kashmir United Kingdom (TeK UK).
Baker analysed the complex geopolitical situation in the region and said the world must settle the Jammu and Kashmir dispute as per the wishes of Kashmiris. Labour’s Afzal Khan MP said more delay in the settlement of Indian-occupied Kashmir will heighten tension in the region and emphasised that a recent EU Disinfo report has exposed a network of fake NGOs acting as Indian propaganda tools. “People of Kashmir must be given their right of self-determination granted by the United Nations and more delay in the plebiscite is injustice with people of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” Khan added.
