EU Parliament postpones voting on CAA in major diplomatic victory for India

[masterchief_mirza]

No problem. Either way, it will get passed sooner or later. EU parliament is not (yet) overrun by Orban types.

What's interesting is how opposition to India's internal matter of CAA is being regarded as a "pro-Pakistani" position here by pdf analysts. Glad we're always on your mind.

Indian reaction - Phew....we were able to get away with murder.

So you blame everything that is happening in India on one sportsman turned politician in Pakistan?

I am crediting the sportsman turned Politian with the big diplomatic wins of Pakistan while India lags behind and has to work pretty hard for small battles. You guys are lucky to have a handsome Champion leading you.

You must have missed the IK's analysis of CAA at World Economic Forum.

In a major diplomatic victory for India, the EU Parliament will not vote on resolution on CAA on Thursday.

The pro-India group prevailed over the pro-Pakistan group in the European Parliament on Wednesday to postpone this voting, ET has leant. The Parliament heard resolution on Wednesday. The voting could now happen in March.

Strenuous efforts of outgoing British Member of European Parliament Shaffaq Mohammad to have a Resolution passed by the European Parliament against India on the penultimate day before Brexit did not bear fruits, ET has learnt.


ET was the first to report that Shaffaq was brain behind the EU Parliament resolution.

“CAA is a matter internal to India and has been adopted through a due process through democratic means. We expect that our perspectives in this matter will be understood by all objective and fair-minded MEPs,” sources told ET.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will visit Brussels for a key meeting with EU Foreign Affairs Council (FAC) on February 17 for brainstorming among other issues on CAA.

FAC plays critical role in foreign affairs decision making of EU. The summit will chart roadmap for India-EU collaboration in several areas including technology transfer, FDI, migration and security partnership and connectivity initiatives. EU is increasingly looking at India to rebalance Chinese initiatives in the continent. But a trade deal is challenging, quipped persons familiar with the issue.

Close to 600 lawmakers in the 751-member European Parliament (EP) moved six resolutions against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. The six draft resolutions moved by several groups have coalesced into a single joint motion resolution which was discussed in the EP. However, EP resolutions are not binding on EU commission

It is delayed .. not denied!

Delayed in this case is denied. All the proposers are from Britain, which is exiting EU on 31st Jan. So its a cop out by EU parliament. They just didn't want to embarass the outgoing MEPs, thats all.

naah dude! This momentum won’t stop now .. if it was so simple Jayshankar wouldn’t be taking his arse to EU to plead and beseech EU members to give India a face saving ..

They want to further milk the bharat mata.

You must have missed the IK's analysis of CAA at World Economic Forum.

Nice try. Cos IK is the only non-Indian to have criticised CAA right? Shall we really repeat the non-Pakistani, non-indian criticism of CAA for your benefit?

In fact, more importantly, have more Indians or more Pakistanis criticised CAA?

Serious questions that little worms should answer, since they have apparently decided to crawl out of the woodwork suddenly.

Somehow the position of criticism of CAA is not a valid "Indian" position to hold according to Hindutva fanatics but is in fact a "pro-Pakistani" one. Indian internal matters become Pakistani when muslims disagree with hindus? Hence opposing CAA even by legal means becomes an act of anti-national treason.

Apparently Indian "patriots" can fire gunshots now at the Indian "traitors" who dare to protest legally against CAA.

This is the net result of living in a totalitarian state where dissent, questioning or protest results in a summary charge of treason. Journalists were silenced in this way last February and now opposition opinion is likewise silenced.

Nothing wrong with all that though. Plenty of folks happily live in such nations. One thing is important though, to not delude yourself and others that you live in a democratic nation which adheres to secular, pluralistic and democratic values. I suggest you simply be proud of living in a Hindutva state and openly declare so. It is a mere formality so why keep the pointless charade up?

I for one would have infinitely more respect for an enemy that states his intent clearly instead of defrauding everyone like some snake in the grass.

A nation and its citizens who dance Bollywood and grin like buffoons in front of white people but enter full Mughal hating mode at home is simply a cowardly nation.

You people take EU Parliament THAT seriously?

Even Europeans do not take it seriously.

 

[Dubious]

So you blame everything that is happening in India on one sportsman turned politician in Pakistan?

Now that should be counted as a win

 

[El Sidd]

Now that should be counted as a win

So others born less unfortunate is a win for those born with a silver spoon?

no wonder you support nepotism

By 6thDegree Hindutva is supported by all Indians sans Muslims of MaqboozaHindustan...who thought 'pallet gunz' were only for PakKashmiris.

What is fascinating that how much RSS and all its off springs are entrenched in every facet of state, business, media, judiciary and society.

A Network of Interests and Advancement is now so intertwined that breaking it is pipedream.

Now if EU/US play it just lip service..then their entire narrative of muslim oppression in China falls flat... wouldn't matter in short term.. however, this HumanRightsCard is then good as dead... ditto for UN.

Alas MarasiMedia in Pakistan is not upto the Hybridwar .... otherwise, dear Indians would be calling themselves Bangladeshi abroad...

We await Modi's next brilliant move... if he backs off then the toad was stuffed to start with... if he doesn't then the Clash of Civlisations is given... IndianStyle that is!

Modi has already triggered the point of no return. A Hindutva fanatic shot at an anti-CAA protest today, injuring a man in the hand. There is no way back. Things must get worse before they will improve.

You seem pretty level headed. But I am pretty sure that all your criticism of CAA is based on the other critics.

If Indian parliament decides to give citizenship to the minorities of Islamic neighbouring countries then who can challenge it. When your Parliament decides whether any sect is Muslim or not then which other country can challenge it.

Its only IK who likes to put his finger in every Indian pie.

It's not really about CAA

CAA is just the latest in a number of anti Indian Muslims/minority acts, laws, statements, actions and a daily toxic environment and discourse


I think Indian Muslims and others have simply had enough



If your trying to understand the resistance movement through CAA you will fail
