DUBAI: Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir Chairman Shahryar Khan Afridi neither intriguingly met the Kashmiri community, residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during his visit to the Emirates nor ‘Kashmir issue’ was mentioned in the press statement released by the Pakistan diplomatic mission in Dubai.
Shahryar Khan Afridi visited the Pakistan Consulate in Dubai on Sunday but the Kashmiri community was not invited on the occasion. Pakistan Consul General to Dubai Ahmed Amjad Ali briefed about the consular services provided to Pakistanis and COVID-19 operations for repatriation of Pakistanis.
Many Kashmiri leaders including Sardar Shabbir, former adviser to the Azad Kashmir government Sardar Javed Yaqub, Azad Kashmir Assembly candidate Farooq Baniya and others regrettably complained that Shahryar Khan Afridi heads Kashmir Committee but unfortunately he did not bother to meet or invite “Kashmiri people”. They deplored that the consulate could not even invite ‘Kashmiris’ to discuss the issue!
