By condemning the atrocities and genocide of Kashmiris committed by Indian Occupation forces, the participants also paid great tribute to the brave people of Kashmir. On the occasion, Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed and other speakers said, we will continue our support to the people of Kashmir till suitable resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

Meanwhile, President of Kashmir European Alliance Sardar Pervez Mehmood in a statement cautioned against the intensive militarism in South Asia. He said, “The modern India has no respect for international law, UN resolutions or international agreements. India prides itself on being a culture and civilisation that developed and embodied the age of enlightenment, norms and obligations.” But India, he added, is no longer holding its promises despite all the fine talk about the imperative of democracy, human rights and freedom.
