LONDON: Labour delegates have unanimously passed a controversial emergency motion on 

Kashmir

 at their annual party conference in Brighton, leading to India's UK mission cancelling a dinner with Labour Friends of India.

 

The motion, carried at the annual party conference on Wednesday, claims a "major humanitarian crisis" is taking place in the "disputed territory" and calls for "humanitarian and international observers to enter the region".

 

It states the people of Kashmir should be given the right of self-determination in accordance with 

UN resolutions

 and urges the party to stand with the Kashmiri people "fighting against occupation."

 

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 amongst 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 at 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 hard left extremists and jihadi sympathisers".

 

British Pakistani Uzma Rasool from Leyton, who submitted the motion, gave a speech in which she referred to PoK as "Pakistan-administered Kashmir" and stated that Kashmir had seen "72 years of human rights violations, of gang rapes and mass rapes state endorsed 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.

The motion urges a Labour representative to attend the United Nations Human Rights Council to "demand the restoration of human rights, including the freedom of speech and communication and the lifting of curfews".

 

The motion also urges Corbyn to meet the high commissioners of both India and Pakistan "to prevent a potential nuclear conflict".

 

British Pakistani Kashmiri Labour MP Naz Shah pleaded with delegates to support the motion, saying "750k Indian military personnel are placed on guard in the most militarised region in the world, barbed wires cover the city, political leaders are under house arrest and there are reports of the most horrific human rights abuses. The path to genocide is opening up and the world remains silent."

 

Motions passed at the Labour conference contribute to its policy-making process.

 

"If there was any one thing that Jeremy Corbyn could do to completely alienate the British Indian community and to destroy any prospects of a cordial post-Brexit, 

Indo-British governmental relationship

, it would be to pass this resolution," Global Hindu Federation president Satish K Sharma said.

So britainistan showing its true colour and we are phackin going to sit idle, this is the phackin limit.

Corbyn is turning labour into terrorist sympathiser. Labour Support of Indians will end up going to Liberal Democrats and Tories

Here:

Earlier they were against Jews. Now the party turned into anti Hindu too. Hope, Corbyn finishes off Labour completely. Sooner or Later, Someone like Farage or Tommy Robinson mentality will rise up.

What do you expect? They have several pakistani origin in the party so it is expected..

Labour party knows the history of unity in Muslim community, they also know that the hindu vote will divided so they are targeting the eight vote bank according to their senses.

Let's see if UK Indians completely boycott the labour party

Tories will have a long innings, doncha worry. Hope Corbyn too has a long stint, he will finish off his party just like our very own Pappu. But Sadiq will stay as London Mayor for a while, that city votes differently...demography plays a part.

I am from left wing, and I do want equal rights for all humans. 

Unfortunately, these right could not be given to Muslims as community to run any country/region, while they put Islamic Sharia above Secularism. 

 

All these Muslim terrorist activities are making Left wing as well as Secularism itself weaker in the west. 

 

In an ideal world, local populations of Palestine and Kashmir should decide for their future. But only due to the wrong-doings of Muslims (i.e. putting sharia above Secularism), they will pay the penalty and will loose their rights.

Don’t know anything about English politics so help me understand how significant is this group or party ? Also is This govt stance ? 

 

Anyhow 370 is not coming back even if US and China threatens to jointly bomb us flat.

Labour is UK's main opposition party. LW, getting more and more left under Corbyn (their leader, a LW loony). Once upon a time they were sympathetic towards India (esp during our freedom struggle), till a few years back even reasonable, right now anti-India, pro-Pak, pro-Muslim.....they side with Pakistanis on Kashmir issue. London's mayor Sadiq Khan is from Labour, many other Muslims in that party, many Islamic fundamentalists cos that party encourages antisemitism. Labour has been out of power for a decade now....Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were the most recent UK PMs from Labour. 

 

UK run by Conservative (centre right) presently, earlier anti-India, right now our best bet. They don't succumb before the Islamists/Pak easily, free market economic policies....socially not extreme like Republicans or BJP, you get the drift? They are nationalist, bitterly opposed the Scottish independence referendum, endorsed Brexit, frequently clash with EU, pro-NATO. People from older generation generally support Conservatives...not that many racists (unlike earlier times) cos those people prefer UKIP, BNP, English Democrats etc.

 

Right now it is in our interest that Tories (unofficial name of Conservatives) stay in power. They may occasionally put India in a difficult spot but nowhere near the same extent as their left parties. Priti Patel is the current Home Secretary which is a damn important post, she is definitely on our side.

Doubt it, this is not the Labour of old. The party has been taken over by radical left and Islamists.

Same is happening in US politics. Dems are going with OJs (outrage junkies) of Islamophobia like Ilhan Omar, who puts down Jews and now Hindus.  Uncle Bernie is quote machined by his hinduphobic staff, With MSM , NYT, WaPo putting down Hindus over Kashmir, naturally Republicans and Trump are attracting the large Hindu community for votes. But, the situation in United Khandom is worse in censuring Hindus for Kashmir.
