As stated earlier.
According to the constitution, councillors have a legal duty to 'maintain the highest standards of conduct and ethics.'
By bringing this biased, inflammatory, and prejudically worded motion to the meeting of the full council...
'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.'

He failed to do that.
As did every councillor, who supported, and voted for it.
