Kashmiri People And Self-Determination
EDM number 1659 in 1993-94, proposed by Roger Godsiff on 26/10/1994.
That this House records that on 27th October 1947 Indian troops occupied most of the state of Jammu and Kashmir and that 47 years later those occupying forces still remain in increasing numbers; calls on Her Majesty's Government to vigorously support the United Nations Resolutions of 1948, 1949 and 1960, which upheld the rights of the Kashmiri people to self-determination through a United Nations-supervised plebiscite, thereby fulfilling the explicit commitment made to the people of Kashmir by Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India; notes that, despite the policy of greater transparency displayed by the Indian Government, the reports of human rights violations continue unabated and the sense of alienation experienced by the Kashmiri people deepens; calls on the governments of both India and Pakistan to recognise and respond to the call for the right of the Kashmiri people to determine their own future; and re-affirms the role of the United Nations in the full participation of the Kashmiri people. (Relevant registered interest declared).
This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
