Kashmir leaders express concern over EU draft report on region
A delegation led by Kashmiri leader Dr Shabir Choudhry met Baroness Emma Nicholson and conveyed its concerned about EU draft report on Kashmir. While talking to Baroness Emma Nicholson, Dr Shabir Choudhry said that while the hard work done to produce the report was appreciated, the EU needed to know that Kashmir was not a territorial dispute or an issue involving distribution of water and other resources between India and Pakistan. He said that the Kashmir dispute was in essence an issue about the rights and identity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and their desire to determine their future without any constraints or restrictions imposed upon them by Islamabad or New Delhi.
Farooq Ahmed representative of Peoples Muslim League said the Kashmiri efforts are to promote liberal and democratic values in Pakistan Kashmir. "We are against extremism and violence and don't want any group to impose their agenda on people. He said use of religion to advance political agenda is not appropriate and it will communalise the society and create more problems for use in future.
