Pak lobbies adnut setback to campaign on Kashmir at CHOGM
EDINBURGH. Oct 28: Pro-Paklstan lobbies expecting Britain to hand them Kashmir have admitted a setback to their campaign at last week's Commonwealth summit here, reports India Abroad News Service.
Separatist Kashmiri groups backed by Pakistan have for the last two years expected the Labour Party in government to lead the international fight on /their behalf. Several Labour Party leaders had announced their Intention of doing so
But the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Inder Kumar Gujral and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, where Britain said It has no intention of mediating on Kashmir, has corneas a set^ck to
t A further setback came by way qf a large demonstration, in, Edinburgh by other Kashmiri groups opposing Pakistani occupation of Kashmir.
Separatist groups at first dismissed the outcome of the talks between Blair and Gujral as Indian propaganda. We do not believe that Labour has gone back on its promises to intervene in Kashmir." Zafar Khan, leader of one of the factions of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). told India Abroad News Service after that meeting.
But on Sunday Foreign Secretary Robin Cook appeared on BBC TV to reiterate publicly what Blair had told Gujral. Cook made it clear that the British government has no intention of mediating on Kashmir if one of the two parties do not want it. That has come like
a blow to Kashmiri separatists in Britain, the leader of one group admitted.
Some Kashmiri groups responded with clear Pakistani blessings. A Kashmiri separatist group held a large demonstration outside the Edinburgh conference centre. The group, the Tehnk Kashmir, is one of about ten groups in Britain and is undisguisedly close to the Pakistani government. Other groups such as the JKLF. which are relatively in-
dependent, did not take part in that demonstration.
The Pakistani lobby, which has been seeing an ally over Kashmir slip out of their hands, made strenuous efforts to put up Kashmir on the agenda inside the conference centre and outside.
Interventions by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Gohar Ayub Khan were made at the executive sessions of the conference but ignored. Pakistani efforts outside the conference centre failed to get much attention either.
Some Kashmiri separatist groups backed by Pakistan held large demonstrations in Lon-dyii wtulc the Edinburgh con-feVentfe was proceeding. These protect demonstrations were held bn the 50th anniversary of the abortive attempt by Pakistani raiders to capture Kashmir in October 1947.
Over the past few years such protests have died out. Last year no more than 20 people demonstrated outside India House in London on October 27, the day Indian troops intervened to fight off the raiders. This year several hundred people marched from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square tn protest on Sunday. The following day, on Monday, a group held an hour-long demonstration outside 10 Downing Street. Blair was in Edinburgh at the time.
Conversations with several of the demonstrators in Edinburgh showed that many of them were not Kashmiris at all.
