@murtazaviews: Lord Shaffaq Mohammed of Sheffield, whose parents hail from Mirpur in Azad Kashmir, has called on the Government of Pakistan to apologise to the people of Mirpur and Rawalakot following remarks by Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif questioning their Kashmiri identity. Lord Shaffaq said the comments were deeply hurtful and offensive to millions of Kashmiris whose roots trace back to Mirpur, Rawalakot and other parts of Azad Kashmir. He stressed that the people of these regions have always been an integral part of the Kashmiri nation and have made significant contributions both in Pakistan and across the global Kashmiri diaspora.
