Elections In Kashmir

EDM number 983 in 1995-96, proposed by Neil Gerrard on 11/06/1996.

That this House notes with concern reports that at the recent elections in Kashmir people were coerced into voting by the Indian Army; believes that an election in which intimidation, threats and violence are used to force people into polling stations cannot be regarded in any way as valid; and further believes that a solution to the problems of Kashmir will only be achieved by the Kashmiri people being allowed to freely exercise the right of self-determination of their own future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
