LONDON: Some British politicians supporting the Jammu and Kashmir liberation Front (JKLF) are meeting the visiting UN Secretary-General Boutros Ghali here to lobby support for the United Nations intervention to resolve the Kashmir issue.
Lord Eric Avebury head of fiends of Kashmir” and chairman of the parliamentary human rights group at West minister told reporters that the group would submit to the secretary-general what he called a plan for an “equitable and practical” solution to the “long standing and seemingly intractable” problem of Kashmir.
Lord Avebury who recently visited Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir on a six-day “fact finding” mission at the invitation of “friends of Pakistan” said he favored the 40-yr-old UN resolution on Kashmir to be “resuscitated” and put into action. The UN resolution could not be rescinded he said.
Asked where the initiative for such a move should come from Lord Avebury said it must come from a government. He had asked the prime minister of Pakistan occupied Kashmir to raise the issue with the UN committee on decolonization. The matter was worth consideration Lord Averbury said.
