Dear Members of Parliament UK,
Re:
Special Conference on Kashmir on Wednesday 26th October 2011 in Committee Room P at Port Caullis House, House of Commons London from 6pm to 8pm.
Where the Newly Elected Prime minister of Azad Kashmir Ch Abdul Majeed will be present as the Chief Guest.
Organised by Jammu Kashmir Self Determination Movement Europe.
Invitation by Raja Najabat Hussain on behalf of Jammu Kashmir Self Determination Movement.
I am writing to you on behalf of the Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance (JKNIA) UK in your capacity as a possible invitee to the above mentioned Special Conference at the House Commons at 6-00pm on Wednesday 26th October 2011 to draw your attention to the following issues which are relevant for proper exercise of the Right of Self Determination for the independence of entire Kashmir (including both the Indian Occupied Kashmir and the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir)
1. That any referendum or vote on right of self determination must include an option for a United and completely Independent Kashmir and not just the options for Kashmir being part of India or Pakistan.
2. Any negotiations on the referendum or vote on right of self determinations must include representation from Kashmiri organisations and parties who support the Option of United and completely Independent Kashmir as this view is not represented by the people who are part of the State Government in Indian and Pakistani Occupied Kashmir.
3. As you may be aware and may be able to verify from the Chief Guest who is representing Pakistan Occupied Kashmir at the conference on 26th October as the Prime minister of the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) represents a Legislative assembly for which people and parties supporting the idea of independent Kashmir are not allowed to take part in the election.In order to qualify as the candidates for the elections for this assembly they have to declare an Oath that they support the annexation of Kashmir to
Pakistan.
As you may be aware JKNIA is an alliance of a number of Political Parties and organisations working for the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue through negotiated settlement for complete independence and unification of Kashmir.
We are writing to request you to take into consideration the issues raised above which are supported by many people of Kashmiri origin living in the UK including many who may live in your constituency and kindly consider making your support for right of self determination conditional to the inclusion of the option for united and completely independent Kashmir and asking the Government of Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to lift the ban on the parties which support the option of United and completely independent Kashmir.
