Day 139 of torment from Pakistan on AJK.
Today is also the 4th day of our indefinite sit-in protest outside the UK prime minister's residence at 10 Downing St, London SW1. This event has conjured up many a self-subdued emotion within me, as it has been conceptualised for the past 2 decades.
I knew the lack of emotional attachment of our UK born diaspora with their roots in Jammu & Kashmir was a major hindrance in making them understand British colonial legacy and its enduring damage to our geography.
Now that this event has finally materialised and it will remain in place until the UK fulfills its legal responsibilities towards this State (of J & K), we can now concentrate on creating a structure for negotiations, although its success totally depends on an organic indigenous political process in AJK.
This is what we are intensely focussing on at this stage.
