He said, we every year visit twice to Geneva-Switzerland, and Brussels. We organised a successful Kashmir conference at Brescia and in Milan. We come from different parts of the Europe for a single purpose and that is freedom of Kashmir. He said, we want freedom at any cost-and we will roll out our programme over the Europe, we are peaceful citizen of Italia and Pakistan. We are talking about the human rights, we aren’t talking about race and religion. These countries are well informed about the current situation of Kashmir. There is lockdown for months.
