LONDON: Labour delegates unanimously passed a controversial motion on Kashmir at their party conference in Brighton, leading to India’s UK mission cancelling a dinner with Labour Friends of India. The motion says Kashmir should be given the right of self-determination as per UN resolutions and urges Labour to stand with Kashmiris “fighting against occupation”.

MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, “We regret these uninformed and unfounded positions... Clearly, it’s an attempt at pandering to vote-bank interests. There is no question of engaging with the Labour Party or its representatives on this issue.”

The Indian high commission India in London cancelled its annual reception with Labour Friends of India on Tuesday night immediately after the debate on the motion began. “We cancelled it. The reason was because of the motion,” a senior Indian diplomat told TOI. The motion also sparked anger among the British Indian diaspora with Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) UK president Kuldeep Singh Shekhawat, saying “the entire Indian diaspora in Britain will not support Labour in the next general election because of this motion”.

There has been growing dismay amongst PIOs ever since Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s August 11 tweet that said “the situation in Kashmir is deeply disturbing. Human rights abuses taking place are unacceptable”, and since several Labour MPs supported and spoke at the August 15 protests outside India House which descended into violence. Reacting to the motion, Manoj Ladwa, former chair of Labour’s Indian Community Engagement Forum, said the Labour party had been “hijacked by a coalition of left extremists and jihadi sympathisers”.

British Pakistani Uzma Rasool from Leyton, who submitted the motion, gave a speech in which she referred to Azad Kashmir as “Pakistan-administered Kashmir” and stated that Kashmir had seen “72 years of human rights violations, of gang rapes and mass rapes by armed forces, and pellet gun injuries”. “We must urgently request India opens access so humanitarian agencies can go in and provide help,” she said. “This is now a major crisis. We cannot allow a century of oppression to take place. For too long, we have said Kashmir is a bilateral issue but the Kashmiri people need intervention,” she had said.

Respect and thank you to the politicians who see Kashmir as a Human Rights violation hub for India

We are in 2019, and 12 million people can't be abused and denied their own freedom after all the goal of partition in 1947 was separate population based on religion

It makes no logical sense a group of people don't follow your nation religion
They always carry Pakistani Flag
They chant Pakistan Zindabad even when they are occupied

Violence and Human Rights Violation won't change it and India must know they can't abuse Rights of Kashmiri anymore

Love to hear this brainlets informed position then, considering they shut off communications and jailed anyone who speaks out against them.

Actually im sure their version of an informed position is one where they can lie about the situation over and over like the "no curfews" and "no injuries" and "no deaths" and "no protests"

The number of British Indians and British Pakistanis is more or less the same. On top of that a large percentage of British Pakistanis are Kashmiri. This is a smart move by Labour. By ignoring some votes from the British Indian community, they are making sure that the British Pakistani community votes for them. Heck throw in some of the more religious Bangladeshis into the labour camp as well because of this.

Good for us let Pakistan all it’s forces and get the Chinese controlled part and then decide, it will be fun

 

[American Pakistani]

The thanks goes to British Pakistanis and Khalistanis. India terrorist can fk itself.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Indians have been the biggest hypocrites, crying foul to everyone, that

"Oh, the British government ruled us badly and did this and that... rubbish"

They had given right to all residents to seek freedom and Kashmiri were denied their own right their own personal "Choice"

For 70 years all of india is enjoying freedom but they deny same to Kashmiri

• Kashmiri people deserve the right to vote 100% to merge with Pakistan
• Khalistani people deserve right to seek Independence

 

[American Pakistani]

Still I'll add, this is not enough. Alot can be achieved by British Pakistanis as their numbers in Britain is pretty high and can influence decisions. Also take Khalistanis and Muslims along.

Its not just Pakistanis or muslims. Khalistanis and dalits are not fan of India either. Being on the right side allow us to gather huge support.

Plebiscite is infact the only way out for both India and pakistan if we want to avoid war.

 

[IceCold]

The world needs to get together to put India out of his misery and liberate the minorities put under siege by the terrorist Hindu RSS regime.

 

[Foxtrot Delta]

Good to see UK has sensitive people alive still.

 

[Asian.Century]

Many Brits want a solution to Kashmir now.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Good initiative
