He also apprised the parliamentarians that he received threats from India.He said that the Kashmir million-march would make history in the world, adding that many groups of demonstrators wereon their way to participate in this rally.“This march got significance as the human rights organisations and a large number of European and British MPs announced their support to the marchers,” he added.He said that the efforts to stop the march by Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj proved useless as this march became the centre of attention for the world and would leave sound effects overKashmir independence movement.Barrister Sultan also announced protest on October 27 (tomorrow) before the Indian Foreign Office in Brussels and on October 29 in Paris.
