What were Mashriqis endevours with regards to the Kashmir problem?
An entire book would be needed to comprehensively answer this question. In short, Mashriqi did his best to liberate Kashmir, but anti-Mashriqi elements in power always undermined his efforts. For example, in 1949, Mashriqi was denied a passport to travel to the USA to plead Kashmirs case in front of the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations, despite the fact that Trygve Lie (Secretary General of the United Nations) informed Mashriqi that his representation would receive due consideration by the Commission. In another example, in 1957, Mashriqi attempted to organize a million man march towards the borders of India to mobilize world opinion in order to seek Kashmirs freedom. However, he was arrested and the media was only allowed to cover those aspects that suited the Government. The Times dated August 29, 1963 wrote: in 1957 he [Mashriqi] led 300,000 followers in order to seek Kashmirs freedom. The Hindu daily dated August 29, 1963 also wrote, In 1957, he led 3,00,000 followers
