The United Kingdom has once again distanced from US President Donald Trump for his anti-Muslim propaganda saying he was “wrong” to share the videos posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain first, a far- right and ultra- nationalist political group.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]However, according to a latest BBC report, Donald Trump has told British PM Theresa May to focus on “terrorism” in UK.

The spokesperson further said, “British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far-right, which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents — decency, tolerance and respect.”

However the British spokesperson said that US President Donald Trump’s upcoming 2018 state visit for now remains on.

This is the second time within few months when UK has publicly differed US administration on a Muslim related issue. Tension between US and UK surfaced in September when British foreign secretary Boris Johnson urged the world to have faith in nuclear deal potential to create more open Iran, while his US counterpart Rex Tillerson argued Iran was not fulfilling the deal’s expectations. Most of the European countries and other UN Security Council permanent members, except US, are supporting the continuation of the Iran nuclear deal.

Fransen was convicted by British court in 2016 for harassing women wearing Islamic veil (hijab). She is banned from entering mosques in UK for her “regular mosque invasions”.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn, the opposition Labour Party leader in British parliament called Trump’s re-tweets “abhorrent, dangerous and a threat to our society.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]David Lammy, another Labour lawmaker told US President that he was “not welcome in my country and my city.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Similarly the Muslim Council of Britain has urged the country’s authorities to distance themselves from Trump and his comments.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]The videos posted by far-right Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen, depict purported Muslims assaulting people and in one video smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary.

Jayda Fransen was encouraged by Trump’s re-tweet and expressed thanks to US president. She said that “GOD BLESS YOU TRUMP!” all in capital letters.

Meanwhile white House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders defended Trump’s re-tweets saying that he shared the videos to start a conversation about border security and immigration. He was quoted saying, “I think his goal is to promote strong borders and strong national security.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) responded to Trump’s move by calling “incitement of violence against American Muslims”

“By his unconscionable and irresponsible actions this morning, President Trump is clearly telling members of his base that they should hate Islam and Muslims,” said Nihad Awad, the national executive director of CAIR.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

PoK protest leader seeks India’s help amid Pakistan crackdown, alleges humanitarian crisis

JAAC leader Sardar Aman Khan has appealed to India for humanitarian assistance, alleging shortages of food and medicines amid Pakistan’s crackdown on protesters in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Published

on

The leader of the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), Sardar Aman Khan, has appealed to India for humanitarian assistance amid the ongoing unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), claiming that the region is facing severe shortages of essential supplies following a crackdown by Pakistani authorities.

According to Khan, residents are struggling to access food and medicines as security operations against protesters continue. He also urged India to consider opening the Line of Control (LoC) to allow humanitarian assistance and provide civilians with the option of crossing into India if the situation worsens.

JAAC chief calls for humanitarian assistance

Speaking at a public gathering, Khan claimed that an economic blockade imposed after the crackdown had created serious hardships for people in the region.

In a video that has circulated widely on social media, he is heard saying that PoK residents need India’s assistance due to shortages of essential commodities.

He also appealed for the opening of crossing points along the LoC, particularly in the Poonch and Doda sectors, alleging that the ongoing restrictions had further intensified the humanitarian situation.

During the rally at Rawalakot’s Eidgah Ground, Khan asked the crowd whether they should move towards the Line of Control. The gathering repeatedly responded in support of the proposal.

He further warned that if public demands continued to be met with force, people could consider other options.

It is important to note that the authenticity of the viral video, reportedly from Khan’s June 30 rally, has not been independently verified.

Protests continue across PoK

The appeal comes as demonstrations continue across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, where protests against the Pakistani administration have been ongoing since last month.

During a recent rally at Eidgah Ground, protesters raised slogans including “PoK is not part of Pakistan” and “We want freedom,” indicating that the movement has expanded beyond demands for reforms to include calls for independence from Pakistan’s political control over the region.

Crackdown follows ban on JAAC

The unrest intensified after Pakistani authorities banned the Joint Awami Action Committee on June 5, designating the grassroots organisation as a terrorist group.

According to a recent report by the International Centre for Peace Studies, Pakistan has historically exercised significant political control over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan through mainstream political parties aligned with Islamabad.

The report also noted that the ruling party in Islamabad has consistently won elections in both regions, suggesting a long-standing pattern of political influence.

Meanwhile, several analysts have argued that the ongoing crisis reflects growing dissatisfaction among local residents with the regional administration, which they describe as lacking independent authority. They also contend that the ban on the JAAC and the use of force against protesters are part of broader efforts to suppress the expanding protest movement.

Death to Trump chants heard during Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral appearance in Iran

Crowds at a funeral ceremony attended by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei chanted “Death to Trump” as regional tensions remained high following the recent Iran-Israel conflict.

Crowds attending a funeral ceremony in Iran raised chants of “Death to Trump” as the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made a public appearance during the event.

The slogans were heard as thousands gathered to pay tribute to those killed during the recent conflict involving Iran and Israel. The ceremony also marked one of Ayatollah Khamenei’s notable public appearances after the military escalation that had heightened tensions across the region.

Anti-US slogans raised during ceremony

Videos circulating from the funeral ceremony showed mourners chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Trump” while Ayatollah Khamenei attended the event. Such slogans have long been associated with state-backed public gatherings in Iran and were repeated during the ceremony attended by senior Iranian officials and large crowds.

The funeral was held to honour military commanders, nuclear scientists and other individuals who Iran says were killed during the recent conflict. The gathering drew thousands of people to the capital, where processions and official tributes were organised.

Public appearance after recent conflict

Ayatollah Khamenei’s appearance came after weeks of heightened tensions in the Middle East following Israeli strikes on Iranian targets and subsequent military exchanges between the two countries. The conflict also saw the United States carry out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, further escalating regional tensions.

The funeral ceremony was among the Supreme Leader’s most significant public appearances since the conflict, with state media extensively covering the event.

Regional tensions remain high

Relations between Iran, Israel and the United States remain strained despite the ceasefire announced following the recent hostilities. Officials from the three countries continue to exchange strong statements over the military operations and the future of Iran’s nuclear programme.

The funeral ceremony reflected the continuing anti-US and anti-Israel sentiment expressed by sections of the Iranian establishment and supporters attending the event.
