UK Kashmir March: Agitate in India not 'cosy capitals', says Omar Abdullah

Commenting on the 'Million March' that is to take place next week in London, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said that he does not have an issue with it but the marchers should protest in India rather than by sitting in cosy capitals.

"I have no problem propounding an ideology, but rather than sitting in cosy capitals like London they should come here and do it," said Abdullah.

Thousands of people are expected to participate in the 'Million March' a calling for independence of Jammu and Kashmir that is scheduled to take place in London on October 26 to protest against supposed 'human rights violations in Indian Kashmir'.

 

The protesters want to petition the British Prime Minister David Cameron to exercise pressure on India to resolve the Kashmir deadlock with Pakistan.

India has conveyed its concerns to the United Kingdom over the 'Million March' although, the UK has made it clear to New Delhi and Islamabad that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between the two countries.
