so if labor members especially leading
ones want to have a debate on Kashmir
all they have to do is tell me is no
magic if Hillary Bend can persuade the
labor front match to give over cavity of
their opposition day to the subject of
Kashmir all they have to do is English
[Applause]
lightly else me when I hear people are
in a position to have intimated
in Parliament call for it to be debated
and follow as if you could make a happen
in Parliament and they could not that
the offices is true secondly it's not
peace that were struggling for its
justice no judges no peace you see
India's in favour of peace in Kashmir
the Boers were in favor of this is a
Lopaka here in the israelis are in
favour of peace in Palestine the price
of these which is just so we can be
disinterested observers we are calling
for peace calling for negotiations like
we haven't been calling for them these
last 60 years on get ears we have to
make a stand for justice there is no
reward in this life for behaving in an
unprincipled man there might be no
short-tailed reward but in the end and
on the last day there will be a reward
so it falls to us to take aside and we
can be on both sides you can't be with
the occupier and the occupier you can't
I want to go took my son with the
oppressed in Kashmir as else well His
Excellency the High Commissioner and I
fought in the 1990s to win the Labour
Party of which I was then a member we
fought to win the Labour Party to a
policy position of support for the
rights of the people of Kashmir for
self-determination a cost ways when
Robin Cook went to the lake God rest his
soul Robin Cook went to India there was
a huge scandal about it because we have
just persuaded the Labour Party
conference to past with sculptural
resolution that record resolution is
still extant
no resolution has countermanded it it is
still the Labour Party's policy to
demand self-determination for the people
of Kashmir and they need to be pushed to
resurrect it to dust it down because
this story is littered with texts that
God of dust and finally can no longer we
see they have been sitting on the shelf
for so long and that is one of them so
we have a petition going on now
if that petition were between a hundred
thousand signatures it would
automatically provoke a debate
unfortunately possibly not on the floor
of the house but in Westminster Hall
which is still technically Parliament
but doesn't quite have the same theatre
now a hundred thousand pounds daunting
but I was a part of an effort just
recently to get a hundred thousand
signatures and they are fallen to be
everybody has to get hundreds if not
thousands of people to sign it and if
you do will have taken another step
forward from this magnificent gathering
here today what's alarming
[Applause]
