LONDON:

Fahim Kayani, President All Parties Alliance UK and President Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Imran Hussain MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Kashmir, for organising a successful and timely APPG meeting in the wake of India’s recent aggression that violated Pakistan’s sovereignty.

The heightened tensions brought both countries to the brink of nuclear war, underlining the urgent need for a political resolution to the Kashmir conflict. The APPG meeting, attended by cross-party Members of Parliament, served as a critical platform to highlight the ongoing human rights violations iand to reaffirm the Kashmiri people’s inalienable right to self-determination.

Imran Hussain MP Chair APPG for Kashmir made it unequivocally clear to UK Ministers that the central issue in the Kashmir conflict remains the right of the Kashmiri people to determine their own future. He emphasized that this decades-old dispute must be resolved in line with international law and relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions, which guarantee Kashmiris a free and impartial plebiscite to decide their destiny.

While commending the APPG for Kashmir’s principled role, Fahim Kayani, President TeK UK, stated during a media briefing:

“Kashmir remains a nuclear flashpoint between two neighbouring powers—India and Pakistan. Without addressing the core issue of self-determination, lasting peace in the South Asian region cannot be achieved. The Indian government’s current trajectory under its extremist Hindutva ideology poses a direct threat not only to regional peace but also to international security.”

Kayani further called on the United Kingdom to recognise and fulfil its long-standing responsibilities:

“The UK, as a former colonial power in the region and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, has a unique legal, moral, and historic obligation to ensure the implementation of UN Resolutions on Kashmir. The people of Kashmir must be allowed to determine their own future, free from Indian occupation, oppression, and systemic state terrorism .”

Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK reiterated its unwavering commitment to the peaceful struggle for justice, human rights, and self-determination for the people of Kashmir, and called upon the international community to hold the Indian government accountable for its continuous violations of international law and human rights standards.
