Petition Urge India and Pakistan to create an independent state in Kashmir

Urge India and Pakistan to create an independent state in Indian-Occupied Kashmir. Anti-India protests and clashes erupted in Indian-occupied Kashmir on Saturday after a gun battle between militants and government forces killed rebels, police and residents.

More details

India and Pakistan each claim the divided territory of Kashmir in its entirety. Rebels have been fighting Indian control since 1989. Many Kashmiris support the rebel cause that the territory be united either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country. India accuses Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, a charge Pakistan denies. Nearly 70,000 people have been killed in the uprising and the ensuing Indian military crackdown.
