LEEDS: President Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Masood Khan has said that the United Kingdom (UK) can play a pivotal role in the United Nations (UN) for resolving the occupied Kashmir issue, ARY News reported on Sunday.
Talking to media in Leeds, Masood Khan said anti-India protests in UK are very much important as they will assert pressure on 10 Downing Street and the Foreign Office to help in resolving the issue.
He also thanked Pakistani and Kashmiri community living in the United Kingdom for raising their voice for the oppressed people of occupied Kashmir, who are under military siege by the Modi government from August 5.
Earlier on August 30, Masood Khan had said Kashmiris are determined to get their right to self-determination and the sacrifices rendered by them for this right would never go in vain.
