Matt Rodda, MP, said that it is unfortunate that people of Kashmir are under clampdown since the past 77 days saying he will continue to raise the voice for the voiceless people of Kashmir.
“In this era of technology mobile phone and internet is need of the hour and I was shocked to learn that nine million people in Kashmir have no cell phone and internet facility due to shutdown by the Indian government on August 5,” MP Rodda added. Dr Phillips Lee, MP, said that world has to listen now the Kashmiris who want right of self-determination and the United Nations ought to implement their resolutions to settle this vexed issue once and for all.
