| What US has suggested and EU members of Parliament follow it faithfully | | | What the US has been saying to India and Pakistan, a group of EU Members of Parliament, at the end of their two-day tour of Kashmir , said the abrogation of Article 370 was India's "internal matter" and they backed India's fight against terror. The delegation appealed to India and Pakistan to hold talks so that Kashmir did not become another Afghanistan. It is left for Pakistan whether it would listen to the EU members because hiherto Pakistan has been exporting terror to India an d India is willing to reopen channels of dialogue but wants Pakistan stop export of terror but so far Pakistan has conceded India's lone demand for end of export of terror
Before winding up the tour, four MEPs, Bill Newton Dunn from the UK, Henri Malosse and Thierry Mariani from France and Ryszard Czarnecki from Poland, addressed a select media gathering at the old airport here. "Article 370 is an internal matter of India. What concerns us is terrorism which is a global menace and we should stand with India in fighting it," said Malosse at the briWe are not here to interfere in internal politics and we fully support the country in its efforts for lasting peace and end of terror." The delegation was hopeful the change in J&K status would improve the situation in the region.
Terrorism in Kashmir is not only an issue for India, but also the international community," MP Mariani, said. "In Kashmir terrorism is severe and this is a global question," he stressed
The delegates condemned those calling them fascists. "We are here only to assess the ground situation. By calling us fascists, our image has been tarnished. It's better that one should know about us properly before tarnishing our image," said Mariani.
The MEPs said they would submit their report on Kashmir to certain groups and not the European Union. |
