India objects to British Parliament's move to debate rights 'violation' in J&K
India objects to British Parliament's move to debate rights 'violation' in J&K : North: India Today
India on Thursday formally objected to the British Parliament holding a debate on the alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
New Delhi issued a demarche to the British government stating that the proposed debate on "human rights violations" in Kashmir Valley in the House of Commons might hamper bilateral ties.
It would be for the first time that the British Parliament would debate the issue since the partition of India in 1947.
The debate in the House of Commons is being attributed to the pressure from the strong Kashmir lobby in Britain which is represented by some MPs. The discussion has been called by Conservative MP Steve Baker along with four other lawmakers.
The British government, however, seems to be playing it safe. The foreign office said that it had nothing to do with the debate and it was entirely the business of Parliament.
Earlier, Jammu and Kashmir Panthers Party chief Bhim Singh described the move by the Conservative MP as a game plan sponsored by Pakistan's military-controlled spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to infuse oxygen into the dying militancy in the state.
Please help the Kashmiris !
