EU to make human rights’ situation in Kashmir part of negotiations with India

[paki_rambo]

SRINAGAR: Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Chairman Ali Raza Syed has lauded the European Union (EU)’s stance about making the human rights’ situation in Kashmir a part of the upcoming EU free trade dialogue with India.

A press release issued on Sunday said that ahead of the high-level of European Union’s delegation visit to India this year, human rights will be an integral part of the discussion.

Human rights have been the bone of contention between EU and India. The two sides could not reach a final conclusion on Free Trade Agreement (FTA), despite a decade of negotiations.

EU has insisted that any trade deal between EU and India would be done if the latter respects human rights. Protection of human rights is enshrined in the European constitution and it is a cornerstone of European democratic values.

The KC-EU chairman said, “New Delhi is involved in massive human rights violation in Indian-Held Kashmir (IoK) and EU should pressurise India to stop the crimes against humanity in the disputed territory. People of Jammu and Kashmir struggle for their right of self-determination that is recognised by the United Nations and is promised by New Delhi itself.”

Ali Raza also appreciated the efforts of Members of European parliament (MEPs) including Sajjad Karim, Afzal Khan, Amjad Bashir and Barbra Lochbihler for their efforts to raise the issue of human rights in IHK.

Chairman Kashmir Council EU said, EU has important role in the world politics and it is a moral duty of the Union to ask India to stop the human rights violations in IHK and provide right of self-determination to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

He added that Kashmiris needed urgent assistance from the European Union in the context of their human rights and as well as their political right about the fate of their homeland.

He further asked EU to review the situation in IHK and stop black laws, extra-judicial killings, illegal use of pellet guns, detention without trial, forced disappearances and rapes of women.

Well It depends on India how well we can depict how Human rights of Kashmiri Pandits were snatched away by the peacefools of the valley. We would promise EU to give Kashmiri Pandits full rights to settle in the valley and then some to compensate our poor human rights track record.

@ranjeet

These are the 'European' parliamentarians who mentioned Kashmir. See how Indian Ambassador responded:

Two British Members of the European Parliament of Pakistani origin, Afzal Khan and Amjad Bashir, raised the issue of Kashmir during the debate. In reply, the Indian ambassador stressed that "Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India". "My suggestion to you would be to tell the country of your birth to stop fomenting terror, stop being an epicentre of global terrorism and stop trying to export it across," added Puri. --IANS nawab/nir

Well considering where Kashimir Pandits are camped we can do it without letting UN into the valley.

India can fool themselves with such illusions EU-India free trade agreement has not concluded for last 20 years because of ongoing human right violations now India can cry a river in front of EU delegation for Kashmir pandits but appears EU delegation would show no interest like last summit when EU met Modi in 2016

Lol we don't need to cry ... considering Britain got out of EU and French lined up next if Le Penn wins ... we don't have to beg or cry ... we can just sit back and relax and call after seeing how things unfold.

where it all started from?

No one can arm twist India on Kashmir, simple as that!
Kashmir is non negotiable.
If it were that simple to bring India to bend its stance on Kashmir, it would have happened already.
I wouldn't hold my breath if I were the KC-EU.
