Over 100 British Indian organisations have written to UK’s Labour Party chief Jeremy Corbyn expressing “deep dismay” over UK’s main Opposition party abandoning its long-standing position on Jammu & Kashmir as a “strictly” bilateral matter of India and Pakistan.
The letter by the British India organisations further stated that the emergency motion passed at the recent Labour Party Conference is not acceptable as it seeks to interfere in the internal matters of, and between, third countries and is drafted in a one-sided & divisive manner.
The letter said, at a time when brexit has already created deep divisions within our country, the last thing we need is to further divide different communities within the UK whilst destroying diplomatic relations with the world’s largest democracy and long standing, valued strategic partner.
