M SHAHED RAHMAN, LONDON :

We appeal for peace in Kashmir said Sajjad Raja who was speaking at an event organised by the Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party (JKNAP) UK at a programme in South London on Tuesday 23 April 2019.

Sajjad Raja, President of JKNAP who was speaking as the Chief Guest said, JKNAP is a secular democratic party advocating for a “united democratic secular Kashmir ” & the right of self-determination for the natives of Jammu & Kashmir.

Topic of discussion for the event was ‘How and why JKNAP UK is different from other traditional Nationalist Political Parties of Jammu Kashmir?’ and to stand up against extremism, violence and militancy to promote peace, democracy and secularism in Kashmir.

The event was conducted by JKNAP’s Deputy General Secretary Saiem Manzoor Khan with guests Ansar Ahmed Ullah from the International Forum for Secular Bangladesh UK, Matiar Chowdhury from Campaign for the Trial of War Criminals, JKNAP’s Vice President Dildar Khan, General Secretary Shazia GD, Auditor Sameena Raja, Media Secretary Altaf Gulharvi & Member Secretary Shaida Hyder amongst others.

JKNAP’s leaders said they were in pursuit of peace and prosperity for all mankind and uniting its community members for a great and peaceful political cause.  Ansar Ahmed Ullah shared Bangladesh’s struggle for independence stressing on secularism to unite all faith communities. Matiar Chowdhury said the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947 is main cause of all religious conflict in South Asia. He also pointed out to a neighbouring country as a source of Islamist terror.  

The event also announced the newly formed London Unit of JKNAP by the UK President Sajjad Raja who led the oath taking ceremony. Of the London Unit present were its President Mehtab Saqib, Vice President Shahid Shabir, Gen Secretary Naseef Ahmad, Finance Secretary Rashid Aziz, Hameed Rakib, Mahmood Sab & Sardar Riaz. The event ended with a minute silence for the victims of the recent Sri Lanka series bombing during Easter Sunday stating that JKNAP has always categorically condemned extremism, violence, militancy & killing of innocent human beings in the name of Jihad. In addition, JKNAP has always upheld   the democratic values and endorsed the provision of basic human rights to all citizens irrespective of the cast or creed or colour
