Article in this week's Observer, entitled 'Council support for Kashmiris'.
A load of hogwash from the council, probably now fearful, after it's been pointed out what they've done, by someone with more than half a brain, about opposing all forms of terrorism and violence, carried out for any political cause.
All very nice. All very noble.
However here's the actual wording of the resolution, put forward by Cllrs. Allah and Munsif Dad, which was supported by the meeting of the full council, after being voted on by our councillors in Hyndburn.
'Conflict in Kashmir
That this Council supports the Kashmir community here in Hyndburn in condemning the atrocities committed and acts of barbaric violence by Indian Forces in Indian occupied Kashmir which has resulted in women been gang raped, children lined up and shot dead in front of their parents, people been torched and set on fire in their jail cells. Over one hundred thousand people have been killed since 1989 and very recently Amnesty International has found a number of mass graves in Kashmir. All this is because the people of Kashmir want their right of self determination, the right which was recognised by the United Nations in 1948.
To be moved by: Councillor Allah Dad
To be seconded by: Councillor Peter Britcliffe'

Sadly the report in the Observer isn't online yet.
Though what they're now trying to pretend they did, as opposed to what they actually voted to support, are poles apart. No matter what smoke and mirror tricks they attempt to use now.
Read the mealy-mouthed guff they've released to the press, and compare it to the actual wording of the official council resolution, that they actually voted to support.
Anyone equally angry, at this being done on your behalf, please feel free to write to the Observer, pointing out this major inconsistency.
People will be getting bored of me pointing out cases of cover-ups, and hypocrisy.
But if no one else lets me know they are going to write, I feel I have no other choice.
