London: Kashmiris and Sikhs marked the Indian Republic Day as a black day, outside the Indian Embassy London. Organised by Tehreek e Kashmir United Kingdom. It was hosted by Fahim Kayani President Tehreek e Kashmir UK and Mohammed Ghalib President Tehreek e Kashmir Europe. Hundreds of people gathered outside the Indian embassy to raise their voices and show solidarity with innocent Kashmiri people in Indian Occupied Kashmir. Protestors expressed their views and stated that Kashmiri brothers and sisters have been under siege in Indian Occupied Kashmir for more then 6 months. There is no communication and internet facilities in the valley and the local community is struggling to meet the basic needs of survival. They also demanded that the international community intervene and provide help to the Kashmiri community for their right to self determination and freedom. Protestors chanted slogans against the fascist current Indian Government and condemned the brutal act of PM Modi who has been trying to ethnically cleanse minorities in India and their occupied areas. Kashmiris and Sikhs want a referendum under the guidance of super powers, who want to see peace and prosperity in the world and especially in South Asia. They also demanded that the Government of India revoke CAA, NRC, Article 370, 35 A and grant independence to the Kashmiri people who are the under occupation of India since the last 72 years.
