UK PM warns Kashmir protestors against violence |
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday said “violence and intimidation anywhere is wholly unacceptable,`` as news of pro-Pakistani demonstrators planning to stage Kashmir protests outside the Indian High Commission on Deepavali day spread. During the weekly Prime Minister`s Questions session in Parliament, Conservative Party MP Bob Blackman spoke of the violent protests by similar “pro-Pakistani” groups at the London mission during Indian Independence Day celebrations on August 15 and sought action to prevent a repeat of the violence. Johnson in his response said that “This is a police operational matter and the home secretary Priti Patel will be raising it with the police.” He said, “We must all be clear in this House that violence and intimidation anywhere is wholly unacceptable in this country.” Mr. Blackman has been speaking out in favour of India since the decision to revoke Article 370 and withdrawing the special status of Jammu and Kashmir found echoes among Britain`s MPs.
