Kashmiris stage protest outside Indian embassy in Frankfurt

EU-Pak Friendship Federation Germany chapter on Saturday staged protest outside the Indian High Commission in Frankfurt against illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by Narendra Modi-led government.

The protesters demanded international community to play its role in ending illegal occupation of the disputed territory and help Kashmiris to get their right to self-determination.

Led by Ansar Mahmood Butt, President of EU-Pakistan Friendship Federation Germany, a large number of Kashmiri community members including Chaudhry Muhammad Younis, Chaudhry Iftikhar, Haji Muhammad Hussain, Zahid Hussain and Chaudhry Rehmatullah participated in the demonstration.

Addressing the protesters, Butt said that on October 27, 1947, India, in violation of international law, landed its troops in Kashmir and occupied it illegally.

The Kashmiris are still deprived of their right of self-determination till this day, he said.

He said that the extremist and fascist Modi government had imposed curfew in the occupied valley after revocation of Article 370 and 35- A on August 5, 2019. Kashmiri youths are being killed under the guise of so-called search operation, he added.

The president of Kashmiri rights organisation vowed to highlight the Indian atrocities across the Europe.

He demanded of the United Nations and other international organisations to intervene to end military siege of the occupied valley.
