Mirwaiz to highlight last summer’s unrest in London
January 21st, 2011 - 2:47 pm ICT by IANSSrinagar, January 21 (IANS) Chairman of the moderate Hurriyat group Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, who will attend a seminar on Kashmir in London, says he would refer to last summer’s unrest in the valley in the Jan 25-26 event.”I will highlight the denial of right of self-determination to the people of Kashmir and also refer to last summer’s unrest in the valley to project the transition of Kashmiris’ struggle from a violent to a non-violent movement here,” Mirwaiz told reporters.
The senior Kashmiri separatist leader said he would demand the inclusion of the people of Kashmir in the dialogue process between India and Pakistan.
“I will also reiterate that any talks between India and Pakistan would be futile without inclusion of the people of Kashmir in such a process,” he said.
Mirwaiz is leaving for London Friday.
The seminar titled “Asian powers in Kashmir: Pakistan, India and China” is being organised by the Royal United Services Institute, a British defence and security think-tank.
Over 100 people were killed in clashes between security forces and stone-pelting mobs in the summer of 2010 in the Kashmir Valley.
