British Muslims Protest India’s Kashmir Policy and Israel’s Actions in Gaza
……………….

Around 1,500 British Muslims gathered outside Downing Street on Tuesday to protest India’s revocation of Kashmir’s special constitutional status and Israel’s military actions in Gaza, 5Pillars reported. The demonstration marked the anniversary of India’s removal of Article 370 in 2019, which ended Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy and led to widespread crackdowns.

Participants, largely of Pakistani and Kashmiri descent, drew parallels between the situations in Kashmir and Palestine, accusing both India and Israel of coordinated oppression against Muslim communities. Speakers included activists, local councillors, and politicians who highlighted the shared ethno-religious nationalist ideologies behind India’s Hindutva and Israel’s Zionism.

Prominent voices at the rally emphasized human rights violations in Kashmir and Gaza, condemning demographic changes, military occupation, and suppression of dissent. Organizers called for international attention and solidarity with the affected populations, warning of worsening conditions under these state policies.
