New Delhi: The Indian government has expressed its anger over the British MPs’ plan to hold a debate on the “political and humanitarian situation in Kashmir”.
Government as well as opposition spokesmen will participate in the debate, which was sought by David Ward, a Liberal Democrat MP representing Bradford East in the House of Commons.
Calling the ongoing Kashmir issue a threat to regional and global peace, British Member of Parliament (MP) David Ward informed the Backbench Business Committee that he had 40 lawmakers backing him up through a signatory campaign who would like Westminster to hold a debate on the human rights violations in Kashmir.
India has construed the move as an attempt to criticise India’s role in Kashmir, even put a question mark on its sovereignty over the region.
