LONDON: Chairman of Kashmir Committee Rana Qasim Noon has called on British government to follow the example of US President Donald Trump and speak publicly about atrocities in Indian occupied Kashmir.
Rana Qasim Noon, who is leading an all-parties parliamentary delegation to the UK to highlight the issue of Kashmir, told this reporter in an interview Pakistanis, Kashmiris and the people of conscience all over the world were highly thankful to President Trump for his brave stance on Kashmir.
Rana Noon said: “President Trump has accepted Kashmir is an international issue and not India’s domestic issue. The US President has acknowledged a historic reality and we are thankful to him for that”, he said
Rana Noon said, “We expect the UK leadership to do the same. We appreciate that the UK govt has raised concerns about atrocities in the Indian occupied Kashmir but the UK needs to do a lot more”.
Rana Qasim Noon said his delegation — comprised of representatives from all parties — informed the UK parliamentarians about the issue of occupied Kashmir and how India was involved in the genocide of Kashmiris at a vast scale.
He said, “We informed the UK parliamentarians how under the false flag Pahalgam attack, India launched a war on Pakistan”. This was an act of aggression, but Pakistan acted responsibly and responded only when India escalated non-stop. Pakistan then retaliated to safeguard its sovereignty and to protect the world from a wider war, he said.
“Pakistan now stands as a shining example of peace maker. We congratulate Pakistan civil and military leadership for its responsible and brave decision”, he said.
He stressed peace in the region is impossible without resolving the Kashmir issue. He said the real face of terrorist BJP is RSS and that Pakistan’s armed forces had thwarted India’s aggression.
He said India, by unilaterally announcing suspension of Indus Waters Treaty, had imposed hydro terrorism on Pakistan. He emphasised the Kashmir issue was never regional or bilateral, and thanked the international community, particularly President Trump, for supporting the ceasefire.
Rana Qasim said India was fully supporting terrorists and the Taliban govt. “The whole world now knows where this rogue state stands”, he said.
