Thousands protest in Britain and Canada for Kashmir

[MenInG]

LONDON: The Metropolitan Police is on alert ahead of a major anti-Indian government protest in London after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi revoked Article 370 and PM Imran Khan’s Special Adviser on Overseas Pakistanis Zulfi Bukhari’s appeal to the Pakistani diaspora to observe August 15 as ‘Black Day’.

As part of the appeal, overseas Pakistanis were requested to hold protests outside Indian embassies in their respective countries to show solidarity with the people of Indian occupied Kashmir.

A spokesman of Scotland Yard said it was aware of the planned protest at noon on 15 August and had policing arrangements in place. Intelligence reports suggest that the number of protestors will be in thousands – making it the biggest ever protest against India in Britain – but the police refused to discuss the number of police on duty.

A source shared that more than 200 police officers will be on duty to maintain the crowd and prevent any road blockings and clashes.

The 15 august protest will be joined by diaspora communities from all political parties, uniting them rarely for the issue of Kashmir. Two pro-Khalistan Sikh groups and secular Indian organisations will be in attendance at the protest.

In a statement, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s advisor, who will be himself attending the protest, said it was moral obligation of all to speak up for the Kashmiri brothers and sisters, who were living in difficult circumstances under the Nazi-like regime of Narendra Modi.

Pro-Modi Indian groups had initially announced to hold a counter demonstration but changed their plans after realising that pro-Kashmir protestors will be huge in numbers and things could spiral out of control.

One of the groups shared on Tuesday that it was still considering to go ahead with the counter-demonstration but was not sure.

Dozens of Kashmiri and Pakistani groups have announced to attend the protest outside the Indian High Commission, near the London High Court. The outrage against India’s revocation of Article 370 is so huge that a few nationalist Kashmiri groups, seen to be close to the Indian establishment, have also announced to join the protest and have already held three demonstrations at the same venue. Student societies from various universities in London spent Tuesday devoted to preparing banners and placards for the ‘Black Day protest’.

Kashmir groups have made arrangements from Birmingham, Luton, Bradford, Manchester and Nottingham to take part in the protest. Private transport has been arranged for the day of protests against Modi’s government. Its estimated that around 10 thousand people will attend the protest.

Indian High Commission has seen been the centre of demonstrations against India after the BJP formed government. Kashmir and Indian groups have held protests at the venue regularly against human rights abuses against minorities in India. Sikh groups have assembled here regularly calling for the release of Sikh prisoners. Indian groups have used the venue to condemn the rise of Hindutva ideology and fascism under the Modi regime.

Protesters in London will be holding signs expressing solidarity with Kashmir after India scrapped the region's special constitutional status.

On 5 August, the government of Narendra Modi revoked Article 370 of India's constitution, rescinding years of autonomy enjoyed by the Indian occupied Kashmir.

Since the move, mobile phone networks, landlines and internet access have all been cut off.

Hopefully the office are used to it by now its almost 6th year now..

Its funny how Pakistani media decides which Indian organisation is secular and which is not.

This is desperate by Pakistan.

Good job Zulfi Bukhari.

 

[GBK_Fan]

I am yet to hear about this from any of my Indian groups and none of my friends have heard about it either. Believe it will be one sided yelling at the Indian consulate

 

[troodon]

No point in demonstrating 6000 miles away from Delhi.

Pakistanis and secularists need to protest in Kashmir and Delhi.

 

[MenInG]

Lets see if this materlializes

Except giving an emotional outlet for some expat Pakistanis, and make them feel that they made a difference where Pakistan's foreign office and UN representative have spectacularly failed

Im sure we would if you can get your right wing government to give us Visas.


Good move by Hindutva extremists to stay away, this isn't IOK where soldiers of Hindutva can opress people for speaking their mind. In the UK we are the strong ones and will not hold back telling them how disgusting they and their army are.

I bet this statement shut up the anti-Pakistanis in society.

This protest will demonstrate that India is the common enemy among non-Hindu faiths in the region.

LONDON: Thousands of people, many waving Pakistani and Kashmiri flags, protested outside the Indian High Commission in London on Thursday in support of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.

India’s decision to revoke special status for its portion of Kashmir, along with a communications blackout and curbs on movement, caused fury in Pakistan, which cut trade and transport links and expelled India’s envoy in retaliation.

In London, protesters carried banners saying “Kashmir is Burning”, “Free Kashmir” and “Modi: Make Tea Not War”, according to a Reuters reporter.

Police were keeping a small counter-demonstration apart from the main protest.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered an Independence Day speech on Thursday that spotlighted his decision to remove the special rights of Kashmir among the bold moves of his second term.

Many of the London protesters had come to the capital from other English cities on specially chartered buses.

“We want to show our solidarity with our Kashmiri brothers,” said Amin Tahir, a British pensioner of Kashmiri origin who came from Birmingham on one of the coaches.

“Since 1947 Kashmir has been struggling to be free from India. Now Modi has changed the law by force to stop Kashmir’s autonomy,” he said.

Over 200 officers on duty

On August 13, it was reported that London's Metropolitan Police was on alert ahead of today's major anti-Indian government protest in London. Prime Minister Imran Khan’s special adviser on overseas Pakistanis, Zulfi Bukhari, had earlier appealed to the diaspora to observe August 15 as ‘Black Day’.

Scotland Yard on alert ahead of huge anti-Modi protest in London

As part of Bukhari's appeal, overseas Pakistanis had been requested to hold protests outside Indian embassies in their respective countries to show solidarity with the people of occupied Kashmir.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson had said Tuesday the forces were aware of the planned protest at noon on 15 August and had security arrangements in place. While Intelligence reports had suggested that the number of protestors would be in thousands, police refused to discuss the number of officers on duty.

A source, however, had revealed that over 200 police officers would be on duty to maintain the crowd and prevent any road blockings and clashes.

The 15 August protest was said to be joined by the diaspora from all political parties, uniting them — rarely — for the issue of Kashmir. Two pro-Khalistan Sikh groups and secular Indian organisations had also announced their plan to attend the protest.

In a statement, Bukhari had said it was a moral obligation of everyone to speak up for the Kashmiri brothers and sisters living in the challenging circumstances under the Nazi-like regime of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Pro-Modi Indian groups, on the other hand, had initially announced to hold a counter-demonstration but changed their plans after realising that pro-Kashmir protestors would be huge in numbers and things could spiral out of control.

Thank you for uploading this video. Interesting to see how the British Cops kept the Pakistani and Indian crowds separate, almost like two volley ball teams facing off one another, with the horse mounted cops and metal barricades separating the two teams.

And what a stark contrast between the two crowds - Indian and Pakistani!

The Pakistanis are so agitated, carrying a lot of flags and banners ('Modi is the new Hitler', 'Moodi is killer', 'Indian Army get out', etc.), and screaming their lungs out. I was worried for one Pakistani dude in particular, hoping he would not have a heart attack, the way he screamed his heart out, and animatedly gestured towards the Indian crowd, as if preparing for a street fight. Good lord, who knew that this Modi reaction to Pulwama attack (remove article 370) would have such a resounding heart ripping impact on Pakistanis worldwide. I actually grew a bit sad about the deep pain and frustration agitating the hearts of the Pakistanis protesters there.

The Indian crowd, on the other hand, were very calm, more like curious onlookers who just happened by, with little emotional investment in the proceedings . A lot of smiles. Happiness. Even celebratory. Zero stress. A few Indian flags. Saw just one odd poster ('UK is no place for terrorists'). The Indians largely seem to be chilling about, some even amused by the super agitated and emotional Pakistani protesters. No angry gestures from the Indian side, no animated screaming.

Some Indians gave puzzled looks towards the Pakistani side as if to say ...'C'mon Pakistani friends, take it easy. Please calm down. Spilling your guts here on a London street won't help". Some even seemed like they wouldn't mind reaching across the barricade and give a hug or two to the Pakistani protestors.

Typical Indian response to be honest, Lions at home, Lambs abroad,or perhaps more apt would be Lions online, lambs wanting a cuddle once out in public. It was almost like they were forced to be there. Bit disappointing, almost like they used up all their testosterone online Trolling in their Bhakht guise and once they hit the open air, the wind goes out of them, why is that?

Yes Pakistanis overboard are definitely showing their toughness in these rallies which is helping the change of the Kashmiri destiny I must admit .

It reminded me a bit of the Afghanistan vs Pakistan cricket match, the Afghan fans were going berserk at the Pakistanis whilst the Pakistanis remained calm and looked on, Pakistani fan facial expressions were of; 'what a bunch of idiots'

1) That was a cricket match, this is a small man trying to ethnically cleanse a region, so yes, tempers will be raised, maybe that's alien to a culture who've let minorities dictate to them for nearly 500 years, whose way of dealing with it was jumping onto a funeral pyre, other cultures deal with it differently.

2) You've gotta show a bit of back bone when abroad, can't go around with that uncle Ji but but ding ding eunuch look the curious Indians had, last thing you want is a huge bullseye on your back like the Indian community had in Australia as the neighbourhood bullies whipping boy.

I watched the video and this guy you are quoting is spreading false information. The Indians were weakly chanting "Modi! Modi!" like it was some sort of cult worship, although most of them seemed to be wearing embarrassed smiles like they were afraid someone might see them on camera.

I think personally they were plants, like this xbronze character who has been spreading propaganda on here for the last week. Most sensible Indians would have stayed away and let the Kashmir protestors express their protests, I would urge Pakistani members not to take these trolls as representative of the majority of Indian Brits.

I am fairly confident the Indian communities outnumber their Pakistani counter parts overseas, the bulls eye from a Pakistan is more like of a cute, wannabe, hoping so wish, which is nothing to be worried about cannot be compared to the situation in Aus where the Indian students were clearly outnumbered

 

[Bhaijaan]

One must commend the bravery and committment of overseas Pakistanis, Khalistanis to always come out in huge numbers and with great passion to protest against Modi. It's been a norm and a major embarrassment for Indian establishment.

Of course this is an Indian govt which really never bothered about India's image. It's not concerned with carrying out it's plans in mainland India and they are going strong with little to no resistance.

And you have come to this conclusion based on which solid facts?

The reason Indian propagators like to push the army rule narrative in Pakistan, is that it gives them a free pass every time when Indian govt is questioned on their long-running hostility towards Pakistan. Doesn't matter what a Pakistani PM proposes as a way forward for peace, the stock answer from pro-Indian members will always be " the Pakistan army is in control and will never let peace happen". There are many Pakistani commentators who are also sponsored to push this line. I expect one of them will come jumping in here to do so before too long.

That would be the Indian passerby. I can imagine the local white guy walking up to one of the protestors and the ensuing conversation -

'Oi, so whats this all about?'
'We're protesting 370 repeal, this is fascist move by hindu Moodi.'
'I read about that. That repeal, whereby Kashmiris now enjoy the same rights as the other 1 billion indian citizens?'
'That's the one.'
'So you're protesting equality?'
'Yeah'
'But isn't that a good thing?'
'How dare yoo, you nazi. Leave us alone!'

While the Pakistani Army causes some damage to India, the major damage it causes is to Pakistan's economy and development. It appears many people don't have the intelligence to make the connection.

India just sent to the Moon indigenously developed lander, rover and orbiter. It's forex reserves are now $430b. Where is Pakistan in comparison?

A pakistani leader signed the Ceasefire agreement. Then pakistan did 1965.

Another Pakistani leader signed Shimla agreement. Pakistan started a armed separatist and terrorist movement in India.

2 months after signing the lahore declaration, pakistan did kargil.

No agreement that a pakistani pm signs on kashmir is worth the paper its written on.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Looks a decent turnout, plenty of Kashmiri flags.

No Hindutva goons turned up as expected.

You 'can imagine' like the rest of the lies you guys believe but in reality the conversation is quite different to how you imagined it.

I was at one such protest today in Toronto and believe me, the passerbys did not leave with a positive image of India. People are talking about Kashmir and they are more aware of Indian atrocities than you think.

You guys can claim that these protests don't make a difference but the fact is more people overseas are becoming aware of the issue. The world is watching, you can close your eyes and pretend it's not.

Indian Sikhs overwhelmingly want to be a part of India. They are fully aware that if Punjab becomes a separate country, their chances of succeeding long-term are very low. The overseas Sikhs in Canada and Britain who want Khalistan are a huge minority even among the sikh community and they are usually seen as useful idiots by anti-Indian forces. They haven't thought the issue through if they think Khalistan is a good idea with Pakistan being right beside them.

As for Muslims from other countries supporting the issue of Kashmir, the world is well aware that many Muslims would support a Muslim terrorist over a saint from another religion as religion trumps over everything for them.

But a point to ponder for you: Modi is no Saint

A certain amount of ruthlessness is necessary when dealing with people who mistake silence for weakness. He's the greatest PM our country has had and a huge majority of Indians agree with it.

He hasn't been silent and his actions since the beginning have been to suppress minorities in Hindustan especially Muslims.

It's hypocritical that on one hand you point out that Muslims support other Muslims due to religion but you yourself (like the rest of majority Modi has received) are backing a terrorist that has masscared hundreds if not thousands, all in the name of religion.

 

[Tiger96]

Also, you can bet that 99% of them are PTI supporters. It is a virus.

Oh so that explains their involvement in all the useless Dharnas, Dramebaazi and token protests again India . Learnt it from their Master.

I think the ones overseas are even worse. They don't care at all about the deteriorating economy of Pakistan as it hardly impacts them, hence they are the most vocal supporters of War against India as the ones living in Pakistan will be suffering.

Are you even aware of what the Gujarat riots were about?

1) Muslims burnt down a train carrying Hindu pilgrims.

2) Hindus reacted violently and killed the Muslims.

3) The allegations on Modi were that he didn't do enough to stop the riots. He requested the neighboring state of Rajasthan for additional police and the state was being ruled by Congress party and the Cheif minister refused to provide additional police to a BJP led modi government. The Congress party refused to help him and has been milking the muslim votes by making fools of them.

To this day, i've never come across a Pakistani who identifies that the Muslims started the riots to begin with. They aren't as innocent as you are potraying them to be so stop playing the victim card.

LONDON: Nearly 20,000 protesters, waving Pakistani and Kashmiri flags, rallied outside the Indian High Commission here, as central London came to a complete halt in support of the Kashmiri people and against Narendra Modi’s revocation of Article 370 which has deprived Kashmiris of their special rights in violation of the local and international conventions.

The unprecedented show of outrage against Modi was unique in its nature as those who assembled belonged to all backgrounds and came together to show solidarity for the oppressed people of Kashmir. The massive protest defied all expectations and assessments of the police and organisers of the protest. It was estimated that around 2,000 protesters would converge in London, but none anticipated that thousands will pour in central London on their own to stand for the people of Kashmir.

Prime Minister Imran Khan’s special adviser on overseas Pakistanis, Zulfi Bukhari especially travelled from Pakistan to attend the protest and addressed the charged rally. Several British parliamentarians addressed the rally and condemned the inhumane treatment of eight million Kashmiris by the occupying Indian army. Shabana Mahmood MP, Khalid Mahmood MP, Lord Nazir Ahmed, Muhammad Yasin, Muhammad Yaseen MP, Lian Burn MP, George Galloway and others addressed the mammoth crowd.

The speakers condemned India’s decision to revoke the special status of occupied Kashmir, along with the communications blackout and curbs on movement causing fury worldwide. The protesters were carrying placards with “Kashmir is Burning”, “Free Kashmir”, “Modi is Hitler,” “Kashmir Banega Pakistan”, “Kashmir wants freedom”, and “Modi: Make Tea Not War”.

Zulfi Bukhari thanked the protesters on behalf of the Pakistani government for coming in thousands. He said it was a moral obligation of everyone to speak up for the Kashmiri brothers and sisters living in the challenging circumstances under the Nazi-like regime of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that Imran Khan has linked Modi with Hitler and Nazi-RSS ideology because of Modi's actions.

He said: “We stand here united for the people of Kashmir and their human rights. I congratulate all of you for putting aside your differences and for standing for the rights of Kashmiris. We are here as one nation and one people. Under Modi, there is a fascist, racist regime killing Kashmiris, Muslims, Christians and minorities. Modi has a history of massacring minorities and the man doing this all is called the butcher of Gujarat.”

Bukhari said that it was important for the world to know that India has unleashed history’s worst atrocities and terrorism against people in occupied Kashmir. “The observance of Black Day is aimed at expressing indignation against Indian imperialism in state. We have displayed unity to show to the whole world that we are one people, one nation and all standing behind our Kashmiri brothers and sisters."

The parliamentarians said it was essential for the whole world to take a stand against Modi and save Kashmiris from ethnic cleansing. They said Modi posed a threat to endangered communities and especially minorities of India.

Former British MP George Galloway said: "Modi has taken the world to the brink of war — nuclear war — and as a result risked the safety and security of people all over the world.”

More than 300 police security officers were on duty. There were brief incidents of violence as protesters clashed with the police.

The trouble began when around two dozen supporters of the Indian government also appeared to stage protest in support of Modi but they left as the number of Kashmiri protesters kept growing throughout. The police detained a few protesters. A group of pro-Khalistani protesters set the Indian flag on fire at the doorsteps of India House.

Kashmiris were joined at the protest by robust groups of Sikhs, who carried the flag of Khalistan and raised the flag outside India House as a mark of defiance. The protest received coverage on English media as BBC, SKY, ITV, Reuters and Press Association covered the event. The traffic around central London remained blocked at four places for more than three hours as the protesters made their way to India House on foot.

So some of the so called protestors were arrested for violence.

Since when the SIKHS became PTI supporters? Your desperation is of highest level and due to which, you always run off the field when ever you are embarrassed. But i guess, you are used to such humiliation nurse.

 

[big_gamer007]

One needs to understand the practicality of the whole situation. These symbolic protests won't make a difference, for concrete steps one needs to realize the mistakes committed in the past, apologize for the same and take it as a humanitarian issue.

Right now, it is still a political/geographical issue from all sides.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

These protests would not make a difference to India or Indians in any shape or form unless the whole world wakes up and takes note of the violations India has committed against Kashmiris and the media blackout they have done there just for the sake of not not showing that what atrocities they are committing.

Pakistan needs to concentrate on the severe issues of their own too as in heavy flooding, no clean water for most of its population, no food and many other issues as well.

 

[Varun]

Gotta love the zeal and valour of British Pakistanis.

If only they could channel said drive from their tri-annual protests on Kashmir / Syria / Israel to something more productive.

It was a satirical conversation I made up to point out the absurdity to neutrals, of people protesting a political move that enhances equality. But you took it a bit too literally.

As ever, Captain's reputation on PP as gatekeeper of what white people in Britain are thinking remains stellar and intact lol.

Gatekeeper would be the wrong term. Friendly advisor of what white people are thinking would be a more accurate description. Since it was you who mentioned what a white passerby might think, it was probably advice well appreciated, and you are welcome.

Yes she did, at a private function, we had a good chortle over it.

That India does not exist, maybe it is still Pakistan.

The love for Katie Hopkins in this thread reminds me of that picture of the Indian worshipping the picture of Donald Trump not so long ago.

You know you've lost the argument when Katie Hopkins is backing you up.

Well, it was IK who was running scared to Trump hoping for a lifeline and how did Trump respond !!!!! reduced the aid and advised IK to deal diectly with India

What a pathetic comeback. IK addressed Trump as one leader to another, you must be pretty desperate if you are trying to equate that with the Trump worship by Indians. Maybe you need me to post that picture as a memory refresher?

 

[fitCricFan]

Did anyone hear of any protests by Kashmiri's or Muslims in the US? Not a word and no one near any Indian consulate or high commission.

Folks are smart and no one there wants to be a pawn of the Pakistan politics and its politicians.

Pathetic for whom!!! Equating IK to Trump....gotta be kidding me. This is the same IK who during his campaigns criticized every politician seeking aid comparing them to be beggars and then did the exact same thing. What a hypocrite an a looser. IK is out of his league and he knows it, clutching at straws as he sees the Kashmir ship sail away. It was desperation on teh part of IK to try to get DT to intervene when Trump had already deemed this as India'd internal matter....LOL
