Joint Letter from All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir

Joint Letter from All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir

Agreed at a meeting of the group on 31 October, 2012

To His Excellency,
Parnab Mukharjee
President of Republic of India,
New Delhi, India

We the undersigned members of parliament would like to appeal to your office to order the mortal remains

of Kashmiri leader, Maqool Butt, who was executed in Tihar jail, on 11th February, 1984 and buried within

the jail premises, to be handed back to his family in Kashmir or to his children living in Pakistan.

We make this appeal on humanitarian grounds as Maqbool Butt’s family members were not allowed to see

him at the time of his execution and have waited long enough to receive his dead body for a decent burial in

Kashmir.

JKLF in London participated in a protest outside 10 Downing Street organized by Sikh Organisation ‘Kesri Lehar – The Wave of Justice’ in United Kingdom. Thousands of people participated who were protesting against the genocide of Sikhs in 1984 by India. JKLF delegation was headed by branch President, Mahmood Faiz and showed solidarity with the oppressed people of Khalistan.

Rally highlighted the possible complicity by then Tory Government headed by then Prime Minister Margeret Thatcher.

While speaking on a Sikh Radio Station (Ch 804) on this occasion, President of JKLF London Branch Mahmood Faiz said that attacking religious places of minorities in India has been the norm of Indian state to crush the populist voice. He stressed on the need of unified efforts by all communities who are struggling for their nationhood.
