JKLF Meeting with Lord Eric Avebury in London

(London 11 May 09)A delegation of JKLF Diplomatic Committee and JKLF UK Zone headed by its senior leaders Zafar Sharif, Malik Latif, and Mahmood Hussain recently held a meeting with veteran British parliamentarian and a senior Liberal Democrat leader Lord Eric Avebury in London. Lord Avebury is also the Home affairs spokesman for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords. This meeting was part of a series of JKLF meetings with British parliamentarians in UK to discuss the situation in Kashmir.

Speaking on the occasion, Lord Eric Avebury said that we have a very big Kashmiri community in several major towns and cities of UK, and they would like more involvement of British mainstream politicians and parties into this dispute. However he said that New Delhi often is quick to react adversely to any statement they see as interference by the former colonial power. Lord Avebury said that nevertheless it has to be remembered that Kashmiris weren't part of British rule on the time of division of sub-continent and also the United Nations tried to assert the people's right to self-determination by adopting the resolutions. Lord Eric further said that candidates in both parts of Kashmir have to swear an oath of loyalty to the Indian and Pakistani constitution, and thus Kashmiris who are against this occupation on both sides are barred from contesting. He acknowledged that UK has a major role to play in South Asia and it also has a moral obligation to help in resolving the Kashmir issue. Lord Eric also updated the JKLF team on progress on the communication with home office on the issue of Mr. Amanullah Khan.

Senior Leader of JKLF Malik Latif on this occasion said that Veteran Kashmiri leader and supreme head of JKLF Mr. Amanullah Khan has been representing the true aspirations as well as emotions of Kashmiris. He said that Pakistan has confiscated his passport and India has brought warrants of arrest issued against him by Interpol. As a result of this he can not get out of Pakistan and project his ideology on the international forums. Malik Lattif urged Lord Eric to use his good offices and to persuade British Government for the revocation of Interpol warrant against Mr. Khan.

Zafar Sharif, Secretary of JKLF diplomatic committee said that large number of Kashmiri community in Britain want an honorable solution of the Kashmir issue based on the true aspiration of its people. He said that Elections in Kashmir have once again been rejected by the Kashmiri people and JKLF’s stand is clear that elections are not substitute to Kashmiri peoples’ right of self-determination.

JKLF delegation praised efforts of Lord Avebury over the years for highlighting the sufferings of Kashmiris and for supporting the cause of independence. JKLF hopes that the veteran peer will keep on encouraging the freedom loving people so that peace and harmony can prevail in the troubled region. The other delegates were Mahmood Faiz, Sanwar Hussain, & Mahmood Sakhi

Solution of Kashmir Issue must for Peace: Zafar Sharif

London 07 May 09: Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front-JKLF- has made it clear that elections in Indian Occupied Kashmir in presence of 800 thousand Indian troops is not acceptable and can not be a substitute to Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.

In a statement issued in London during JKLF London branch meeting held on Tuesday 5th May 2009, it reminded international community of its legal and moral obligations to intervene in the current most worsening situation in Kashmir on the eve of false elections. The statement said that enforcing undeclared curfew, beating people for speaking against these false elections and holding election on the behest of gun speaks itself about India’s claim of a democratic country in the world.

Speaking on this occasion, senior leader of JKLF and member of its diplomatic committee Zafar Sharif strongly condemned the Indian authorities for not allowing the people to express their anguish against the elections. He added that these kind of elections were held in Kashmir on numerous occasions before but history is evident that such elections have no bearing on the nature of the dispute. Zafar Sharif said that Kashmir issue must be addressed according to the wishes and aspirations of Kashmiri people for the lasting and durable peace in South Asian region.

Mahmood Hussain, a senior member of JKLF and member of executive committee of JKLF UK Zone, while speaking on this occasion said that India’s election drama in Kashmir is an attempt to deflect the international attention from Kashmir issue. He also condemned the continued arrest of JKLF leader Zahoor Ahmed Butt who was arrested by Indian authorities on 12th of February this year. Mahmood Hussain called on the Indian government to immediately release Zahoor Ahmed Butt and many other leaders who have been arrested in order to stop the popular voice of Kashmir people.

The meeting was also addressed by office bearers of JKLF London branch including Mahmood Faiz, Nadeem Iqbal, Javaid Rashid and Sanawar Hussain.
