UK parliamentary body recognises 'Indian atrocities' in occupied Kashmir

A report compiled by a UK parliamentary body has recognised "the massive human rights violations and atrocities" committed by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir", DawnNewsTV reported on Monday.

The comprehensive report, prepared by the UK Parliament's All-Party Parliamentary Kashmir Group (APPKG), has highlighted "the draconian laws", including the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and Public Safety Act, "under the garb of which Indian occupation forces are committing human rights abuses in IoK with impunity".

On October 31, after the APPKG had released its report, Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal had termed the report's observations as an "indictment" of India's "gross human rights violations in the valley".

Radio Pakistan quoted Dr Faisal as saying that the APPKG report echoes the findings of the UN's OHCHR Report published on June 14.

The APPKG report "calls for an immediate ban on the use of pellet guns against innocent unarmed civilians" in the valley by the Indian army.

Furthermore, the report "condemns the illegal detentions, enforced disappearances" in occupied Kashmir, and calls for the "prosecution of Indian armed forces".

The APPKG, chaired by MP Chris Leslie, demands in the report that a "comprehensive public investigation into the identities of the bodies in mass and unmarked graves" should be made.

The parliamentary body observed that its findings, which come "on the heels of the UN's OHCHR Report on Jammu and Kashmir", are a "damning indictment against India's human rights atrocities in IoK and stark proof of increasing international focus on the nature of this dispute".

Lol.
Almost 90% of APPKG memebrs belong to the Labour party which is Powerless. The less than 10% who are from Conservative party are all those members whose constituency have a large Pakistani origin population such as Stoke on Trent.

Thus while the ruling Conservative party is pro India, it is the weaker Labour party which is not in power that is pro Pakistan.

More importantly APPGs do Not have any official status in UK Parliament so their works have no value unlike that of Parliament commitees.

This is very important step.

Nope see for yourself.
Out of the 25 MPs (less than 4% of British Parliament strength) that attended the APPG meet, 23 were from Labour and only 2 conservatives.

Also British Parliament website itself mentions APPGs are informal groups & have no official status.

you dont know anything about UK plotics mate

in simple terms Labour is the common peoples party including all races and religion where as the conservatives are the big businesses and rich society party who are against immigrants and islam in particular.

And calling conservatives strong is laughable they are at their worst point since thacther died, Labour is at its strongest since Blair left.

Expect Labour to smash the conservatives in the next GE

polls showed Hillary killing Trump in the election and UK remaining in the EU by a clear majority

if you looks at polls to base the political situation in the country you are an absolute fool

bro stick to your indian 19th century politics. dont ever try to base a political argument on bloody pools on TV

 

[Indus Pakistan]

There is a important 'take away' in all this. @While @TACDE_IAF makes valid point but it shows clearly how western platforms can be manipulated by narrow interest groups. If there were less Pakistani origin MPs and there had been more Indian origin MPs this report would have been snuffed.

As a general rule people of Indian origin are proliferating in the west, particularly USA and are begining to bash Pakistan on all fronts by manipulating various platforms. Expect Pakistan to get punched on human rights, poverty, female rights - all of course will be have Indian orgin people driving them with a facade of Westen sounding platforms.

Not at polls were very accurate on number of votes to HRC & DJT but got 538 electoral distribution wrong.

 

[GodToons]

So said a informal group from a country who is net receiver of investments from India and where India is largest creater of jobs. One message from Foreign ministry and UK govt will dismiss this facade.

The UK body and Foreign Office should come out of this lip service and take notice of the social media companies Facebook and Twitter crackdown on social media posts regarding Kashmir. Suspending and blocking 1000s of accounts. Its been 2 weeks and thousands of twitter accounts suspended due to Indian govt. pressure on the mods. They still are criminally silent on the issue.

Its called the free market. If facebook and twitter can shut down conservatives like Alex Jones, they have the right to shut down terrorist organizations.

As for the topic, this has the same significance as the US state of Indiana recognizing the Armenian genocide. What matters is UK foreign Policy, and does anyone really think the UK would risk its ties to India over people nobody cares about?
