Kashmiris hold demo in London By Our Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Sept 5: Kashmiris on Sunday staged a peaceful demonstration outside the Indian High
Commission building in central London to reject the farce of elections in the occupied Kashmir.

Plebiscite not elections, chanted more than 100 Kashmiris who had come mostly from Birmingham to stage the protest demonstration against the so-called elections being held by the Indian government in the occupied Valley. "Out out, India out," "Indian forces leave Kashmir," the protester shouted in rejection of these elections.

The demonstration was organised by Birmingham-based Tehrik-i-Kashmir and majority of the protesters had come from there.

Tehrik-i-Kashmir chief Ghalib Khan had sought the police permission to hold the protest demonstration outside the Indian High Commission but when the protesters arrived they were not allowed to stand outside the Indian High Commission and instead herded towards Bush House, a few blocs away from
the Indian High Commission.

Apparently the police were under too much "pressure" and kept them away from the High Commission building for more than one-and-a-half hour. When only 30 minutes were left from the two-hour time allocated to the protesters for holding demonstration, they were allowed to protest a 100 yards away from the Indian High Commission building.

This was the first time that the police had stopped demonstrators from protesting outside the Indian High Commission. The demonstration was also participated by PPP and Jamaat-i-Islami representatives.
