Thousands of people supporting the Kashmir cause came out on the streets of the British capital to express solidarity with the citizens of Indian-held Kashmir in their decades-long struggle for the right of self-determination.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and his sister Aseefa Bhutto Zardari also participated in the rally. Some miscreants threw bottles at the stage from where the participants of Kashmir Million March were to be addressed. Former prime minister of Azad Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mehmood said India’s sympathisers tried to sabotage the procession. “We have gathered here to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir and to draw attention of the international community towards Kashmir issue,” Mehmood said, adding that this struggle would continue till the independence of Kashmir.
