A British Member of Parliament has introduced a motion in the UK House of Commons affirming India's sovereignty over the disputed region of Jammu & Kashmir.
A motion was tabled in the UK House of Commons by a British Member of Parliament, affirming India’s sovereignty over the region of Jammu & Kashmir. The proposal comes at a time when the status of the area remains a point of contention between India and Pakistan.
The motion echoes India’s recent constitutional changes that reclassify Jammu & Kashmir as a Union Territory, and it underscores the UK Parliament’s stance on the matter. While the motion has not yet been voted on, it was debated briefly by members of the House.
Indian officials welcomed the motion, citing it as a sign of international support for India’s territorial integrity. The MP cited international law and India’s constitutional provisions as the basis for the motion.
The move arrives amid heightened scrutiny of Kashmir’s political status and growing international attention on the region’s future. Though the UK government has maintained a neutral position on the dispute, this parliamentary action reflects a supportive stance toward India’s claim.
