The United Kashmir People’s National Party (UKPNP) in solidarity with the Joint Awami Action Committee (AAC) will hold protest in front of the Pakistan High Commission in London on Saturday to counter  ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’ observed by Pakistan.

The demonstrations will raise the demands of the people of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) on an international level, reports ANI.

Speaking to ANI, Nazir Aziz Khan, the spokesperson of UKPNP said, “The protest of February 5 will be an effort by the UKPNP and the AAC to call upon the Pakistani regime for the atrocities that they are committing upon the people of POK.”

He further mentioned that “February 5, which is observed as Kashmir Solidarity Day is nothing but a political stunt by Pakistan. As the regime has been showing no solidarity to the people of POK, where the people have been protesting for their basic rights of electricity, food, and ownership of their natural resources.”

The protest aims to show solidarity and support for the AAC and the people’s rights movement in POK and AAC in the POK has declared a complete shutter-down and wheel-jam strike across POK on February 5, the news agency reported.
