UK Labour party clarifies position on Kashmir issue

[Kaniska]

The threat of Indian diaspora voting against Labour party worked!

It is not going to work out in long run...There are more number of constituency where Pakistan origin people in UK than Indian origin voter....Ultimately, due to domestic compulsions, UK will be with Pakistan for Kashmir issue.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Money trumps that you know. Both in US and UK.

Not really. india has over 600 million of the world's poorest people and some of the most powerful politicians in the UK are Pakistani. The chancellor of the exchequer of the UK is Sajid Javid, a Pakistani. He literally controls the finances of the UK and is 2nd only to the British prime minister. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan is also a Pakistani.

You are correct....Pakistan has the potential to have more influence in UK than India due to your advantage of more people that Hindu people in UK...

Well honestly speaking, Indian diaspora in US is very strong and influential. Their focus on owning properties, tech startups, business, politics, higher positions, and getting higher education have put them in a commanding position. Their average income is little less than the double is Pakistani diaspora average income and the highest in US.



I hope you guys succeed and grow stronger and influential even more.

If what you say is true then india would be a superpower, inventing advanced technologies and sciences like the White and Far Eastern races. Instead they are the world's biggest open sewer with over 700 million of the world's most poorest people. So your conjecture goes straight out of the window.

You implied financial blackmail by Indians residing outside of India on local governments

Laws will soon be in place in UK to combat this.

Hindus think they have some kind of magical grip in the UK. More Bollywood nonsense.

why all the hoopla for nothing ?

You're right that functionally the stances of Labour and conservatives will not differ much on the Kashmir issue.

Clearly Labour's language is getting Hindutva in a twist though. Easily triggered these days.

Labour party should worry about apologising for the atrocities committed by Britain in the Indian subcontinent if they hold Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi diaspora in such high regard.

Is Indian apologizing for the atrocities committed against Kashmiris?

The British at least finally decided to end their occupation of South Asia - when is India ending its occupation of J&K in accordance with the UNSC Resolutions?

So long as India refuses to implement the UNSC Resolutions on J&K, the British are way ahead of India in terms of morality & human rights.

Hit the nail on the head. Compare NI Good Friday agreement to Kashmir 370 abrogation.

Lolz dumb indians cant even comprehend what they said. They officially see kashmir as bilateral issue but would raise human rights issue in any part of the world. Any average person can see what they mean here.

Or for that matter the fact that Scotland was allowed a referendum to determine independence.

Indians wailing about 'British atrocities' in South Asia prior to 1947 would do well to look in the mirror first and wipe off the blood, sweat and tears of the Kashmiris they've occupied for over 70 years first.

wow they must be so scared of threats coming from world super power of poverty lol

ghar main agle baizti kar k chaley ghey

 

[Flash_Ninja]

if the Labor Party is in power will they do anything different than the current government ?

Considering: a) the larger amount of influential Pakistanis/Kashmiris in the party b) Jeremy Corbyns progressive stances

I would say yes

That is not what I'm saying, but the reality. Ask any Pakistani here on PDF and they will tell you the same. Besides, search about it on google.

Keep waiting for Labor Party return to power

We Pakistanis are well off in the UK too. It is not only Indians.

That far right column says it all.

The diaspora can play its role, but it needs an economically strong and prosperous Pakistan to really shift policy. Even with that, there will be little more than strong public statements. The Indian diaspora has significantly more clout than the Pakistani diaspora in the US, but has the US sanctioned Pakistan? Despite stacking the State Department with pro-India hawks, have the recommendations of people like Christine Fair, in terms of punitive actions against Pakistan, been implemented, despite Pakistan having significantly less economic clout than India or no utility vis a vis the US’s goal of ‘containing China’?

Of course Pakistan’s nuclear weapons erode the advantage of the Indian economy & Indian American influence, which gets back to my point that neither India nor Pakistan will be able to leverage the global community in any significant way against each other. India’s current advantages will be eroded with Pakistan’s economic progress and even the FATF restrictions are a silver lining in that much of the actions being pushed will also have a significant impact on black money/money laundering due to corruption, which in turn will help Pakistan’s economy & domestic security in the long run.
