کوئی مطلب نہیں اس کا کیونکہ برطانیہ تو صرف امریکہ کے سیکرٹری کا کردار ادا کرتا ہے تو سیکرٹری کی فکر کرنے کی بجائے براہ راست باس کیا کرے گا وہ ڈسکس کریں 😂😅

[@Hamirpuri]

میرے خیال میں اس کے برعکس ہے۔ ڈوریں برطانیہ اس طرح ہلاتا ہے کہ اصل کردار لگتا ہے امریکہ ہے۔ میرے خیال میں اصل قوتِ محرکہ برطانیہ ہے، اکثر اہم عالمی معاملات میں۔ نام امریکہ کا بدنام ہوتا ہے۔

Dear Congressman I would also like to urge you to continue speaking out forcefully about the gross violations of human rights that have been occurring in Pakistan over the past two years. The ongoing situation is deeply concerning, and it is imperative that we take a strong stand against such injustices. In addition, I respectfully request that you consider introducing legislation to impose visa and immigration bans on officials who are involved in these human rights violations. Holding these individuals accountable is crucial to sending a clear message that the United States will not tolerate such actions. Thank you once again for your leadership and dedication to promoting human rights and democracy. I look forward to your continued efforts in addressing these critical issues. Sincerely,

[@AliBaba-nf4my]

I had visited Europe twice. My travel history was strong. But refused😢 Even I been in London in 2000 for study. Plus I got Schengen state visa before one week only from applying UK 🇬🇧 visa. But all this things not supported me to get UK visa. Very sad 💔💔

Calling Starmer centrist is like calling Trump black,they aren't. Starmer had done absolutely nothing to rock the Tory boat since his election as leader of Labour. He played role of Tory Team B. Starmer also promised to continue with Tory policies of austerity which have completely destroyed UKs social services. His stand for immigration policy isn't much different from Torys so I have no hope of much change. Politically parties like Labour and Democrats in the US need to understand that their attempts to woo Conservative voters by trying to appease won't work because conservative voter will never vote for them, they will either stay at home or in the case of UK will vote for something more conservative aka Reform party. So instead of trying to vow Conservative geezers if only they can focus on their core vote bank, they will be more successful.

The majority are from Azad Kashmir you can't find many Lahorites or Karachites. These people are from Mirpur, Dadyal, Chakswari and so on and on. Entire villages migrated to the UK after the Mangla Dam was built. British Government requested the Pakistani government for labour force then President Ayub Khan offered to send from from Azad Kashmir. There is an Azad Kashmiris diaspora of over 1 million and the rest are from other parts of Pakistan Punjab, Sindh, KPK, and Balochistan.

Do not forget ex army men especially from Potohar emigrated in droves in chartered flights in 1962/63 before the deadline

[@Khalidi0302]

@@user-iy2zk2xs9b I've NO clue about that. I knew the British Government had requested Ayub Khan, the Late then President of Pakistan for a labour force for the UK and he (Ayub Khan) said why not - he offered labour from Azad Kashmir. On the hand other Mangla Dam was built and villages came under water but the Pakistani Government paid compensation to the people of villages affected by the dam. After that the floodgates of mass immigration to the UK. The people of Azad Kashmir have contributed immensely to the development of England and the rest parts of the UK and many people do not have any more connections with Pakistan because their all villages migrated to England. i.e Bradford - Birmingham - Luton - you name it they're everywhere in England from big towns to small villages - the majority are cab drivers

[@Khalidi0302]

@@user-iy2zk2xs9b That is not the case. British government requested the Pakistani government for a labour force in 1965 then President of Pakistan - Ayub Khan agreed to send from Azad Kashmir since migration started to the UK. I came across that the majority of people from Azad Kashmir do not have any connections with their villages as everybody came to England for betterment.
