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

[Zapper]

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

I was expecting this, would have been a big blow for India /eu relationship if this had passed.
Most of the pro-pak eu members will be out with Brexit. Dynamics will change further after that.

EU parliament has passed resolutions against India in the past. Big blow? Don't think so.

I for one want to see india india breaking into pieces and its population turning against each other and making 3 new countries which i see happening if outside forces don't interfere and let modi g do his magic.

I say just wait and watch dont interviene indians themselves will divide india. If not then there always the option to go aggressive against them.

They have postponed it to March 2nd part which means voting won't happen before 31st March.
Even the debate was not attended by 90% of MEPs.

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.

Maybe they delayed it to be more robust and definite after clearing out Brexit confusion.

 

[GumNaam]

a "delay" is considered as a "major" diplomatic victory by the indians!

such failures!

The aim was to discredit the utopian image your government was presenting. It's only because of economics that this shift was possible. We know money talks.

Lol to all Pakistanis mocking our diplomatic abilities and our strength vis a vis Europe. In your face guys.

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