The Council resolves to write to the Foreign Office Minister to bring his attention to this issue.“


says the Council is taking sides?

The original motion, reported that Hyndburn B.C. voted to support, and used around the world, by terrorist supporting propagandists....

'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.'

Besides, this poll really asks the question, should a local council spend any of it's time, concerning itself with any international issues.

The answer to that, despite the glib response from Cllr. Moss, seems to be a resounding 'No!'.
