A FORMER Prime Minster of Azad Kashmir has called on Bradford people to join a march to raise awareness of the plight of the country.
The Million March involves protesters walking from Trafalgar Square to 10 Downing Street on Sunday, October 26.
Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry, who was Prime Minister of Kashmir between 1996 and 2001, visited the Mumtaz Restaurant, Great Horton, today to attract recruits as part of a national tour.
Mr Chaudhry believes the plight of the Kashmiri people in the Indian military occupied portion needs to be raised at an international level and the United Nations Resolution, dated August 13, 1948, needs to be implemented.
The Kashmir issue has been the cause of three wars between Pakistan and India.
He said: "The people of Kashmir have been struggling for many years to have the right to their own destiny.
"Everybody in England should know about it."
Anyone from Bradford who wishes to attend the Million March can meet at the Mumtaz restaurant's car park on October 26 at 7.30am for coach travel to the protest.
