The participants of the rally urged the international community including the United Kingdom to play their vital role to stop Indian massive human rights violation in IIOJK and immediately implement the UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir to enable the Kashmiris to decide their future destiny through UN sponsored plebiscite.

The participant called for the implementing UN Resolution 47 on Kashmir, saying, the world should impose economic sanctions against India for genocide of Kashmiris, Kashmir is bleeding and hold India accountable for killing Kashmiris.
“We, we will resist India everywhere in the world, we demand plebiscite in Kashmir and never rest till we get it, Unresolved Kashmir is posing a threat of nuclear war and UN should pay attention to the issue”, they demanded.
The Sikh participants on the occasion hoisted Khalistan flag infront of Indian High Commission London.
