Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK Raises Serious Concerns Over U.S. Ambassador’s Remarks on Jammu and Kashmir

Birmingham, UK — 20 August 2026: Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK President Fahim Kayani has written to the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Warren A. Stephens, expressing serious concern over remarks made by the U.S. Ambassador to India during his visit to Srinagar, Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, describing Jammu and Kashmir as an integral part of India.

In his letter, Kayani highlighted the concerns of British state subjects of Jammu & Kashmir, stressing that the unresolved status of Jammu and Kashmir is not simply a foreign-policy matter but directly concerns their history, families, identity and fundamental right to self-determination.

Kayani emphasised that Jammu and Kashmir remains an internationally recognised dispute considered by the United Nations Security Council. He referred to relevant Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 47 (1948), which envisaged a process through which the people of Jammu and Kashmir would determine their future.

“The United States, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, carries a particular responsibility to respect the UN Charter and Security Council resolutions concerning Jammu and Kashmir,” Kayani said.

He warned that statements by senior American diplomats appearing to determine unilaterally the status of the disputed territory risk prejudging an unresolved international dispute and undermining the aspirations and right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK has urged the United States Government to clarify its position and ensure that its diplomatic representatives refrain from statements that could be interpreted as endorsing the unilateral claim of either party over the disputed territory.

Kayani also called on Washington to use its diplomatic influence and permanent membership of the Security Council to support a peaceful and just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, consistent with international law and the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

He requested Ambassador Stephens to convey these concerns to the U.S. Department of State and seek clarification regarding the remarks attributed to the U.S. Ambassador to India.

Voices for Kashmir Echo in Birmingham at Major Solidarity Conference

An important Kashmir Solidarity Conference was held in Birmingham under the auspices of Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK, reaffirming the commitment to highlight the Kashmir issue globally and to continue supporting the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination.

The conference was chaired by Raja Fahim Kayani, President of Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK, while Dr Muhammad Mushtaq Khan, Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Azad Jammu & Kashmir & Gilgit-Baltistan, attended as the chief guest. Addresses were delivered by Jahangir Khan (Secretary General, JI AJK & GB), Muhammad Ghalib (President, Tehreek-e-Kashmir Europe), Habib ur Rehman Afaqi (Deputy Secretary General, JI AJK & GB), Raja Qamar Abbas (Convenor, JI UK), Mufti Abdul Majeed Nadeem (Vice President, TeK UK), Ch. Ikram ul Haq (President, TeK Birmingham), Raja Mushtaq, and other leaders.

Speakers emphasised the need for a UN-mandated plebiscite in accordance with United Nations resolutions and strongly condemned the continued Indian occupation of Jammu & Kashmir, as well as the reported human rights violations and atrocities against civilians. Particular concern was expressed over illegal detentions under black laws, enforced disappearances, and the confiscation of properties belonging to pro-freedom activists and families. Speakers also highlighted that much of the All Parties Hurriyat leadership remains imprisoned under what they described as politically motivated or fabricated cases, calling for the immediate release of all Kashmiri political prisoners.

The speakers praised the vital role of the overseas Kashmiri and Pakistani community in raising the Kashmir issue effectively before the global conscience. They stressed the importance of unity within the diaspora and continued engagement with political representatives, media platforms, and human rights forums across the UK and Europe.

Participants called on the international community to take practical steps to address the humanitarian and political situation in Kashmir, to ensure accountability for human rights violations, and to uphold the democratic rights of the Kashmiri people in accordance with international law and UN resolutions.

A large number of men and women from Birmingham and surrounding areas attended the conference. On this occasion, honorary awards were presented to individuals who have rendered outstanding services to the Kashmir freedom movement. The event concluded with special prayers for the martyrs of Kashmir, for the release of political prisoners, for the early freedom of Kashmir and Palestine, and for peace, justice, and unity in the Muslim world.
